Mushroom Soup

Mushroom Soup is considered one of those comfort foods we all need, once in a while. On a cold wintry day, this is the perfect meal for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

2 - 8 ounce packages of fresh sliced mushrooms, or 12 whole mushrooms sliced
2 tablespoons onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2-3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoons pepper
1/4 teaspoons nutmeg (optional)
splash of dry sherry (optional)

Directions:

Slice up those mushrooms, if using whole mushrooms, or place the already sliced mushrooms, into a skillet with your melted butter. Add in onions and garlic. Cook until mushrooms have released their juices and your onions are translucent and soft. Add 1 tablespoon of flour to your mixture and stir until the flour has been absorbed, then add your second tablespoon of flour and do the dame. Slowly add your Chicken broth and heat until it begins to become thick. Stir every few seconds to ensure no clumping or sticking. Slowly begin to add your heavy cream, stirring constantly. Add in remaining ingredients and turn down heat to low/simmer. Stir and serve with your favorite fresh bread. Yum yum. Enjoy.
