    Thank you so much for sharing your homemade cream of mushroom soup recipes! I WILL NEVER GO BACK to the canned version. I had for years been trying to come up with something but this is perfect. My 15 month old does not sleep through the night either. Glad to know I’m not the only one who struggles with this. It seems like everyone else has kids who’ve been sleeping through the night at eight weeks. Not me. Anyway, Hoppy Easter!
