Cold Weather Makes You Yearn for Hot Soups
If you are like me, when the weather drops 10 degrees I instantly yearn for homemade hot soup! Living in Florida those days are few and far between so we have to take advantage when we get the chance. Some of the most popular soups are Potato, French Onion, Minestrone, and Tomato. But my truly favorite is Cream of Mushroom. Here is a great recipe to share:
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Ingredients
8 ounces fresh mushrooms
2 Tb onions, chopped
1-2 garlic clove, minced
2 Tb butter
2-3 TB flour (separated)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup light cream
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ tsp nutmeg
Slice the mushrooms. Melt butter in medium pot. Add in onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Blend in 2 TB flour and stir.
Add in the chicken broth and heat until slightly thickened while stirring frequently with a whisk.
Stir cream with additional 1 TB. flour and seasonings. Add cream to soup. Heat to thicken while stirring frequently. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
Serve and enjoy!
