Check out what my pal from me Lady Cooks had to say about this wonderful recipe:
The type of mushrooms used will make a difference in the flavoring of course. I usually use the white button mushrooms so readily available year round in the produce section. Baby bellas or even large portabellas also make excellent soup but are more seasonal up here in the north. I made an interesting version of the soup using portabella mushrooms last summer that had just a touch of Worcestershire in it to give it a more exotic flavor profile. That was just yummy! I’d like to figure out what to use to make the “golden mushroom” flavor that Campbell’s produces.
I’d like to know how Campbell’s does that, too! Do any of you know what is in the Golden Mushroom soup by Campbell’s?
