We love a good winter soup for lunch. This is one I made up some years back and need to make it again soon!
1 lb mushrooms , chopped
1 large sweet onion, chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
Combine and cook in microware 6 min or so stirring every couple min or until tender
6 T butter -Melt in 8 qt sauce pot until bubbly
Add 6 T flour, or arrowroot or tapioca, and cook 3 minutes while stirring.
Then stir in:
lots of fresh cracked pepper and enough salt to taste
3 nice pinches nutmeg
Slowly stir in 5 C chicken broth to the butter mixture.
Cook until thickens a bit, then add mushroom mixture and stir to heat through.
Just before serving stir in:
1C half and half
Top with 4T chopped chives
Have fun with this. Use different kinds of mushrooms, seasonings, etc. to make it your own.
Serve with some good toasted sourdough or crackers 🙂
