Here’s one we found not long ago and we absolutely love! It really only takes about 30 minutes of cooking time - the longest part is slicing the mushrooms.
I don’t add the sherry as I don’t care for the flavor. We also make a double batch because it warms up for leftovers without any change to the consistency. Enjoy!
QUICK, EASY CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
Ingredients
5 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon sherry
Directions
1. In a large heavy saucepan, cook mushrooms in the broth with onion and thyme until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
2. In blender or food processor, puree the mixture , leaving some chunks of vegetable in it. Set aside.
3. In the saucepan, melt the butter, whisk in the flour until smooth. Add the salt, pepper, half and half and vegetable puree. Stirring constantly, bring soup to a boil and cook until thickened. Adjust seasonings to taste, and add sherry.
The real problem is that since we moved a couple of years ago we don't have the storage space. Guess it's time for a second frige/freezer in the basement.
