Cream of mushroom soup usually prepared with lots of thick cream has too many calories. I wanted to prepare cream of mushroom soup without the cream and I chose to use flour instead of cream.
I was in a hurry to cook dinner while preparing this soup, so excuse me for some of the blurry pics.
My family has loved this soup every time it was prepared. Hope you all like it too. :)
