Cream of Mushroom Soup

Posted 2016-06-04 by finy ⇒ follow

I needed some mushroom soup for making another recipe and once again, did not want to use tinned soup, so I made my own.

The mushrooms are sauteed with the chicken stock (home made) and to this is added thickened cream and sherry. If you are eating this as a soup, add a bit more cream or milk to make it thinner.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
450 g mushrooms, sliced
50 g butter
4 tbsp plain flour
1 litre of [link http://recipeyum.com.au/chicken-soup-using-chicken-frames/ home made chicken stock]
1 chicken stock cube
100 ml dry sherry
200 g thickened cream

Method

Melt the butter in a wok or large saucepan and cook the mushrooms on a medium heat for about 7 minutes.

Add the flour to the top of the mushrooms.

Add a bit of chicken stock - I used my home made [link http://recipeyum.com.au/chicken-soup-using-chicken-frames/ chicken stock] however you COULD use a packet/tin.
