Posted on Oct 5, 2009 in Cooking

Here is a great recipe for a mushroom soup on cold winter day.

1 8oz box White button mushrooms (medium)
1 8oz box Baby Bella Mushrooms
5 Stalks Green Onion
1 Small White Onion
1 Small can, Cream of Chicken or Mushroom Soup
3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
1 Cup of water
2 Cups of Half and Half
Salt and Pepper to Taste

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil on medium heat. Chop the white onions finely and saute them for a one minute.
2. Slice the Mushrooms so each piece is about half a centimeter thick.
3. Put all of the mushrooms into the saucepan and sprinkle one tablespoon of salt over the mushrooms. Continue to stir for about one minute.
4. Add one cup of water and cover for 5 minutes. This will allow the mushrooms to cook down.
5. Add the can of cream of mushroom or chicken soup along with the half and half. Stir and bring the mixture up to a boil. Continue stirring until the half and half, and soup are well combined. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Let boil for 10-15 minutes.
6. Coarsely chop the green onions and add into the soup mixture. Reserve some of the green onion for garnish.

Serve immediately with a small garnish of green onion on the top.
