Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe

Ingredients (Serving – 4)

  • 1 container of Mushrooms (I used Baby Bella’s)
  • 1 whole Leek
  • 1 small White Onion
  • 1 small handful of Fresh Sage
  • 3 cups of Chicken Stock
  • 2 tablespoons of Butter
  • 1/2 cup of White Wine
  • 1/4 cup of Cream
  • 1/4 cup of Flour
  • Salt and Pepper

Preparation

  1. Finely chop the leek and onion.
  2. Heat a medium size sauce pan with 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  3. Sauté the leeks and onions for 10-15 minutes until reduced in size.
  4. Next, add in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms have reduced to half of their size.
  5. Slowly add in the flour a little bit at a time stirring constantly.   At this time, the vegetables should mold together into a thick paste like texture.
  6. Add in the sage, and white wine.  Cook for 5 minutes over medium-high heat, then add in the chicken stock.  Let simmer for 10 minutes, and lastly add in the cream.  Remove the sage before serving.
