You may note that traditionally, a condensed soup is used. However, I find that using the ready to eat soup provides a better result and the quality is better. DO NOT ADD MILK to this recipe! The soup is prefect as it is. I prefer the progresso as the mushrooms are bigger, but if you have another brand you prefer, that is perfect as well... You can do it completely from scratch, by seasoning approx. 1.5 cups of cream broth and slow cooking mushrooms in it. If you prefer your casserole thicker, you can use more fried onions.
