Cream of Mushroom Soup
I’ve always wondered what home made cream of mushroom soup tastes like. I’ve always loved the canned stuff but finally decided to try to make it from scratch. I picked up some fresh mushrooms on my shopping trip on Saturday and decided to give it a whirl today. I love cooking, it’s how I relax after a hard day at school. weird, huh? It’s just fun for me. I rarely use measurements but rather follow my intuition as to how much of everything to use. For this one I did use a recipe, but deviated to some extent. Here’s what I did to make my soup:
I used:
- 1 lb of fresh mushrooms, chopped
- 1 Tbsp butter
- a few shallots, chopped
- 2 cups cream
- 1 can chicken broth
- 2 Tsp corn starch
I melted the butter, then sauteed the chopped mushrooms for a few moments. Next, I added the cream and chicken broth and simmered it for a few minutes. Finally add the green onions and then the corn starch, dissolved in a tbsp of water. Season with salt, pepper and top it off with some parsley. I didn’t have any thyme, but apparently that’s a good one to add as well. Finally, enjoy!
I’m never going back!
