Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms diced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder, onion powder, salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it begins to foam. This allows the water in the butter to cook off which will create a smoother consistency.
- Add the diced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, until liquid is mostly reduced. Add the flour and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth and stir to combine. Slowly mix in the half and half until combined, then add the seasonings. Whisk continuously and bring to a gentle boil. Stir continuously while it bubbles for about 4 minutes, it will thicken and reduce. Remove from heat.
- It will continue to thicken upon standing.

Notes
- This recipe makes 2 cups, (16 oz). If you double this recipe, it will give you exactly 3 (10.5 oz) cans.
- Baby Bella or Shiitake mushrooms may also be used.
- You can freeze these in can-sized portions, these food storage containers perfectly fit 1 "can" of soup so you can easily pull them from the freezer for cooking.
- To turn this into a broth for soup: Add about 1/2 cup of milk for every 1 cup of condensed. This tastes great with sauteed celery, carrots, chicken, and even cooked rice! Or, make my regular Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe!
