Grouse Cooked In Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup

I think I understand the longstanding love affair hunters have with cream of mushroom soup. I have it on good authority that one evening, sometime about the dawn of time, a bunch of hunters brought home a bunch of birds, and the gatherer/cook in the cave said, “I am not cooking those smelly birds for you tonight!” The guys looked blank and thought, “What now?” Then some semblance of a light bulb went on in the brain of the smartest one. “Canned mushroom soup must be just as good as her fresh mushroom soup. Let’s give it a try.” The boys were so pleased that they had come up with a recipe all on their own they decided to use “canned” exclusively and never asked the gatherer to make fresh again.
