"Easy recipe that is tasty! A new tradition for Christmas Eve! My husband doesn't like asparagus so I used cream of celery instead. With a bit of Old Bay, it is a yummy soup. The negative comments are not necessary. If someone wants a more complex soup, then go with one that has 15 ingredients and takes an hour to make. I'll definitely make t""

"Excellent and easy recipe. I used a 2 1/2 lb roast since there are two of us. I cut the time a half hour per someone else's comments and that was perfect. My fiancee loved this dish. I didn't have trouble with the thickness of the gravy; I just pureed more of the onions and mushrooms since I used the original recipe amounts for those ingredients. I also added baby carrots and used Montreal Steak Seasoning. Yummy. I'm glad we have leftovers and the house smells wonderful."
