Lynn Brown of Houston, Texas, writes: "For me, it's fun to see how much I can simplify or revise a recipe to make it my own. That's what I've done with the soups here (they're one of my favorite things to make). The mushroom soup is from a restaurant, but I've added more flavor with wild mushrooms."
