Ingredients
FOR THE BEANS:
- 1 pound green beans fresh, rinsed, trimmed and halved
FOR THE SOUP:
- 2 tablespoons butter preferably reduced fat
- 1 onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 12 ounces brown or cremini mushrooms sliced
- ¼ cup marsala wine optional - use any dry red or white wine
- 1 cube beef bouillon crumbled
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth or stock
- ½ cup heavy cream half and half or evaporated milk
- 6 ounces French's fried onion rings divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring 2 quarts (litres) of salted water to the boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beans and boil for about 5 minutes.
- Drain in a colander and quickly immerse beans in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Pour in wine (if using) and allow to cook for 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle mushrooms with flour, mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, season with salt, pepper and crumbled bouillon. Stir in the cream or half and half. Cook until the soup thickens (about 4-5 minutes).
- Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked green beans with half of the onions. Top with the remaining onions.
- Bake until bubbling, about 15 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.
Notes
- Blanching Green Beans: Blanching the green beans briefly in boiling water ensures they retain their vibrant color and a slight crunch, preventing them from becoming mushy during baking.
- Bake Time: Keep an eye on the casserole during baking to avoid over-browning the onion topping. Cover loosely with foil if necessary, this will help avoid the top becoming too crispy.
- Mushroom Soup: The homemade mushroom soup can be made a day ahead to save time. It also freezes well for future use in other recipes!
- Adjusting Thickness: If the soup base becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken stock or cream while stirring to reach the desired consistency.
