Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup baby bella or white mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the saucepan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices.
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a paste (roux). This will help thicken the mixture.
Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Whisk in the whole milk and simmer the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened to a condensed soup consistency, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. The mixture will further thicken as it cools.
Use immediately in recipes calling for condensed cream of mushroom soup or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
