I'm a huge mushroom fan and I love cream of mushroom soup. This is a very yummy recipe that I indulge in occasionally. Super warm, creamy, mushroomy goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms (or more to taste -I usually add closer to a pound and a half) shopping list
- 6 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 5 tablespoons flour shopping list
- 3 cups heavy cream shopping list
- 3 cups milk (I use no lower than 2%, but I guess you could try 1% or skim to cut back a little on the fat.) shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, optional shopping list
- 1/4 scant teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional shopping list
How to make it
- Saute mushrooms in butter.
- Cover and heat over medium low heat for 20 minutes.
- Stir in flour and brown.
- Slowly add the cream & milk and stir until smooth and thickened.
- Season with salt & both peppers and cook on a low simmer for 10 minutes, but be careful because it may burn.
- Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.

if you add a fresh pressed garlic to the flour when browning it gives it an awesome flavor.....but add it when flour is browned already....you dont want to burn the garlic....thanks for adding this...Mmmmmmmm

Great recipe...much like what we do here, and it's delecious! I like to place a little of the cream broth and about 1/3 of the mushrooms in the processor and puree. Then return to the pot. Theickens the soup a little and ramps the flavor up a lot! ...more
