Cream of Mushroom Soup

Quick Notes: Yes, I am that monster that genuinely enjoys cream of mushroom soup. Even the canned kind. If you do, too, but want to feel less like a monster about it try making it fresh from scratch on your stovetop.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sliced baby bells mushrooms
  • 2 cups stock (vegetable or chicken)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk (if you don't like a thick soup, you can add a second cup of milk)
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. 
  2. Add your garlic and your mushrooms and saute together for about 3-5 minutes.  
  3. Try to tip your pan so the butter runs to one side while scooping your mushrooms to the other, and whisk the flour directly into the butter to make a roux. 
  4. Set your pan ack down and slowly whisk in your stock.  Allow it to come to a boil and cook together for 5-7 minutes. 
  5. Slowly whisk in your milk, cream, and seasonings until well combined. This is a cream-based soup so you might need to be a little heavy-handed with the salt and pepper.  Don't forget to taste your food. Let it return to a simmer and remove from the heat.
  6. Allow soup to cool for five or so minutes before serving.  It's great with crackers!
