Made mushroom soup today and I ate some of it this evening.
^Shame the colours are a bit off.
Promised CBC to post a picture (thus) and the recipe..
Simple mushroom soup recipe (for 2/3 bowls of soup).
- 10 ~ 12 button mushrooms.. cleaned and chopped up in slices
- small (wh.) onion.. chopped up finely
- knob of butter (the real stuff)
- bit of plain flour.. maybe a little more than a teaspoon
- glove of garlic (via crusher)
- half a teaspoon of dried thyme
- p/m 1 liter of chicken stock
- tablespoon of sour cream
- chives.. quite a bit/chopped up finely
- salt and pepper (to s/o's own taste.. )
__________________________________
Hot pan.. and the knob of butter goes in first. Then the finely chopped onion immiatietly after that and add the dried thyme too. Throw in the slices of mushroom after p/m two minutes and leave the heat on a high temperature (to make sure the mushrooms stay firm). Add the flower 2/3 minutes after that and de-raw it for a coupe of minutes. Add the chicken broth and the crushed garlic and let it all simmer for p/m 5 minutes. Taste a little bit of it (don't burn your mouth) and add some freshly grounded pepper and some salt to your own taste. Add the sour cream and dissolve it into the soup. Add the finely chopped chives and serve in a bowl. Voilà!
Some folks blender the soup at the end (I don't) and most add sherry to it (I don't/dislike the stuff)
