Here is how you make Cream of Mushroom Soup (ww=3):

1. Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and leeks and saut?, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender and releasing juice, about 3 minutes; 2. add thyme and stir to coat vegetables. Add broth and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes.Working in batches, transfer mixture to a blender and puree until almost smooth, leaving some mushrooms in larger pieces; set aside. Or puree in pot with an immersion blender; set aside. Melt margarine in the same saucepan over medium heat; add flour, salt and pepper and whisk until smooth and thick, about 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add milk and bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent clumping. Return mushroom mixture to pan, stir to blend and simmer 1 minute to heat through. Yields about 1 cup per serving. Notes Use Shiitake mushrooms for a flavor boost. They have a bold meaty flavor that enhances soup. Look for large-cap mushrooms since the stems aren't edible (simmer and strain the stems for mushroom broth, if desired).
