Cream of Mushroom Soup
"This is a nice and creamy soup. Easy to make and very tasty in flavor. It works really well in the bread bowls. I like to serve a nice green salad along with the soup for a complete meal or its great as a first course at a dinner party."
- Ready In:

- Serves:

4-6
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced thin (or finely chopped if you prefer smaller pieces)
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 2 cups finely chopped onions
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 (14 3/4 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1⁄4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 -2 tablespoon sweet marsala wine (or to taste)
- 4 -6 bread boules (crusty bread bowls)
directions
- Melt butter is a large saucepan over med-high heat.
- Add mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring constantly until tender.
- Add flour.
- Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add broth, cook, stirring constantly until thickened; remove from heat.
- Stir in cream, white pepper, nutmeg and marsala wine.
- Serve hot.
- Note: I always serve mine in bread bowls.
- To Prepare bowls: I cut a piece off of the top of each bread bowl and scoop out the bread from the inside.
- I lightly butter the inside, place prepared bread bowls on a cookie sheet and place in a 350 degree oven for about 10-15 mins or until the bowls are toasted on the inside.
- (This keeps the soup from soaking too fast into the bread).

I left out the wine but still it was a great tasting soup---Thanks for sharing. -
Really nice flavor! Maybe it was something I did wrong, but I stirred and stirred and stirred (probably 10+ minutes) on Step 5 waiting for it to thicken, but it never did. I did add a little cornstarch to try to help things along. I will make this again, but next time I think I'll use a little more flour or a little less broth. If it was thicker, it would have been perfect!
