Great recipe with ingredients that are at-hand. I added fresh sliced mushrooms and curry powder. It should taste even better after sitting in the fridge overnight.
Jen M says
Love this soup, made it last night. I did not have any mozzarella cheese so I used 4 ounces more of the cream cheese, 12 ounces total. It was great!
