It was one of those cold icy winter day, I was sick as a dog! Just warmed up a kettle full of mushroom soup and curled up on the couch…to watch my favorite scary movie (actually, movies, movie marathon it is). And, did nothing more! Kept slurping the soup happily ever after. Sometimes, its even better to be the sick and alone than with anyone around! Get my point, I am not obligated to do anything, you see.  :)

Ingredients:Button Mushroom – sliced 1 cup
Veg or chicken broth 1 cup
Corn Starch 2-4 spoons
All purpose flour 2 spoon
Half n Half(tetra pack milk)4 cups
Butter 1-2 cubes
Salt as per taste
White pepper to sprinkle
Grated cheese to garnish(optional).

Method:

In a shallow pan, melt butter. Add flour and corn starch to it. Saute’ them for 2 minutes or maybe till they turn to golden color.

Now add chicken or veg broth to this. Bring it to boil. When it is almost half the way reduced….add half and half and continue boiling.

Let this acheive to rich creamy soup like consistency. Now stir-in sliced mushrooms. Bring this to boil once or twice. Do not over-cook the mushrooms.

Serve warm with melted cheese on it. Sprinkle salt and pepper before serving. Enjoy!
