Cream of Mushroom Soup $4.51

Mushrooms provide a treasure chest full of important nutrients and vitamins. Vitamin B and D, Potassium, and lots of antioxidents. I grew up eating cambells cream of mushroom soup, and upon looking at the label now, there is a ton of ingredients that really dont appeal to me including flour and msg, so I kinda thought I like the idea of homemade mushroom soup because I can control any potentially unappealing ingredients, and just make a light healthy soup.
I chose to use 2% milk and not cream and olive oil in place of butter. When I can, I like to use olive oil in place of any shortenin, the omega 3's are just so good for the body!!
