Use a 4-5 qt dutch oven or soup pot to melt the butter and saute the shallot.
Clean and chop the mushrooms and add to the pot.
Add lemon juice and saute till mushrooms stop giving off liquid.
Add chicken stock, cream and seasonings, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to simmer 20 min and check consistency.
Add instant potato flakes a few at a time starting with about 1/4 cup till you are happy. Simmer another 10 minutes before serving.
Serve in warm bowls garnished with fresh parsley or as a special touch rehydrate a dry wild mushroom you then fry and float on top. A dried morel mushroom would be kingly.

Never even eaten cream of mushroom soup before.. Ive used the stuff from a can to cook stuff in before.. gonna try this.
Matt a variation of this is to use sherry wine instead of lemon juice, do this if you mix in any stronger mushrooms like ....aki, porchini, crimini or chantrells.

Love cream of mushroom, this is a very good recipe. #6 is very sound step. Only can add 1-3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. I am hungry now.:)

Yes most of the time I also add some olive oil with the butter to saute the mushrooms and shallot and should have noted it.
