This recipe is from http://ahomegrownjournal.blogspot.com/ I have also used it for a gravy over a steak and noddles dish. I can't wait to try it in my green bean casserole
This picture is from Lazy J Bar C farms. I didn't realize that my daughter bowl was almost empty when I took the picture. So I had to borrow Candy's.
Second helpings and a ten! What has happen to my daughter!
CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
1/4 cup butter
8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon savory
Pinch of white pepper
1 can beef broth (or about 12 oz. homemade beef broth)
1 cup 1/2 & 1/2
Melt
butter in a saucepan. Add mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring
often, until mushrooms are brown and most of their liquid is gone.
Sprinkle with flour, salt, savory and pepper. Stir until coated.
Remove
from heat and slowly blend in beef broth. Put back on heat, bring to
boiling, cover and reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Mixture will
be very thick so simmer on a low heat and stir now and then to make sure
it's not sticking.
Mix in the 1/2 & 1/2 and heat to serving temperature being careful not to boil.
This makes enough for two main dish servings with just a bit left over, which Jerry promptly ate after finishing his first bowlful.

ReplyDeleteI have four kitties that pretty much run my house.
DeleteOne of my favorite soups too! If it has kid approval, it's good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe she gave it a ten. And I only get a 9.8 LOL
DeleteOoohhh, it would be excellent as a gravy or in green bean casserole! I love the picture of your daughter's almost empty bowl, that says it all about how good this is!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the use of your picture. My photo skills need help.
DeleteHi, Michelle - Thanks for giving me credit for this recipe . . . and the link, too! It makes me feel good that so many folks think it's a really good soup. I got it years ago from a young gal who cooked for us summers (in our restaurant) while going to college. It's nothing like canned cream of mushroom soup, is it? :o}
ReplyDeleteThis soup is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing her recipe.
DeleteThat sounds so good!! Love the picture of the almost empty bowl, that says a lot about the how good that it must be!!
ReplyDeleteThat was her second helping. My daughter usually eats like a bird. She very rarely has second helping. Except if it's ice cream, then all bets are off. LOL
Deleteyum!!! I have never made this homemade...thank you for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious!!!
