Cream of Mushroom Soup

[genekay]

I had a recipe from the magazine "TASTE OF HOME" for cream of Mushroom soup that was very good and easy to make. Some of the ingredients were, Half and Half, bay leave, mushrooms, canned chicken broth, flour.
Can anyone get me this recipe, from about the year 1997 or 1998?
