Cream of Mushroom Recipe

Nothing fancy to warm your belly. I like them chunky, with loads of mushrooms...For this recipe I simply used the regular white/ brown fresh mushrooms. You may opt to use other types to your fancy.

Ingredients:
5 cups of chopped mushrooms
half cup of diced onions
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup of cooking cream+ milk
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp all purpose flour (dissolved in water)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsbp salt
grounded black pepper

Instructions:
  1. Heat butter in a sauce pan. Add in onions and fry till translucent, then add in mushrooms. Let simmer for 2-5 minutes then remove and let cool. (you may choose to save some mushrooms for the chunky bits later)
  2. Blend ingredients from (1) with chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour mixture into a pot, add cream+ milk, flour, thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and let simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. In the last 5 minutes, add in remaining chunky mushrooms (finely diced). Garnish and serve warm.
Prep time : 30 minutes
Difficulty level : easy
