Simple Gourmet Mushroom Soup

No Processed Ingredients. 4 Simple Steps. 20 Minutes to Make. 

Our family has been eliminating processed foods so I have been learning to make things from scratch.  Cream of Mushroom Soup is one of those ingredients that is often used in recipes.  I no longer use the canned version so I wanted to find an alternative.  This from scratch version is so simple to make and tastes soooo much better than the canned.  We are never going back!  

*My mom is also going to try and make it with Arrow Root for a gluten free version.  I will update this and let you know how that works!
