Mushroom Soup, ok or no?

[dSavage]

I am pretty much new to the South Diet and am wondering if I am going to have to get rid of all of the recipes I have that use condensed Cream of mushroom soup. It looks ok, (Total Carbs 9g, Fiber 1g, Sugars 1g,) but I would like to know what others think. Any help would be appreciated.

In the kitchen forum somewhere I saw a recipe for making your own Cream of Mushroom soup low carb version that you could use in your recipes. :)
Here it is!

Creamy Mushroom Soup


Ingredients:

16 oz fresh mushrooms -- sliced 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cups chicken broth 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup cream Preheat oven to 300ºF

Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth; slice thin. Spread them onto a shallow ovenproof baking dish in a double layer. Add the lemon juice, garlic, butter and oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 1 hour or until they are completely cooked and the juice is thick and dark.

Set aside a few mushrooms for garnish and put the rest in the blender jar. Add the broth and blend until smooth. In a heavy saucepan, heat the soup for about 5 minutes; add the cream and cook and stir for an additional 5 minutes.

Do not allow it to boil!

Pour into soup cups or bowls, garnish with reserved mushrooms and serve.

Makes 6 servings. 4.5 carbs per serving.
