Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted
- 8 ounces white mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 cup milk whole
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Finely chop 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms into as small of pieces as desired for personal preference of the final texture of the soup.
- Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms in the melted butter for 5 to 7 minutes, until the excess water has cooked out.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir together until all white specks of flour disappear. Let cook for 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in 2 cups vegetable broth and 1 cup whole milk, whisking continously .
- Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly while it heats. Just as it comes to a simmer, it will thicken up. Cook until just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Season by stirring in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Enjoy as a soup, use in any recipe calling for condensed cream of mushroom soup, or transfer to an airtight container for later use.
