Best Soup this Year

Is what I made the other night from this Christmas present.  She calls it Paris Mushroom Soup.  For me, it had a depth of umami savoriness I haven't gotten elsewhere.  Up until now my mushroom soup has been the Joy of Cooking's, with its bechamel sauce and pureed onions and celery.  I think it helped that the stock I used had been from poaching a whole chicken.  Want the recipe?  It's posted right here.

    Thanks, CO--will have to check them out, although I am reluctant to acquire yet ANOTHER obsession

    We got a cookbook, too. My mother-in-law knows how we struggle to figure out what to eat every night.

    Yes, I want that recipe. I am so much more about savory than sweet.

    Sounds wonderful. No one here would it eat it but me. Sigh.
