Creamy Mushroom Soup
There is nothing more I love than a warm and comforting bowl of creamy soup. It is the perfect starter to a big meal, as well as a wonderful light lunch. Mushrooms are very popular in this house. It is one of those vegetables I buy every week! Being so, mushrooms are the star of this soup.
This soup is so easy to make and uses the simplest of ingredients.  I make this creamy mushroom soup lighter than others by skipping the heavy cream, and opting for a half & half and 1% milk mixture instead. It comes out just as creamy, but less fat and calories! I used cremini mushrooms since that is what I typically have in my fridge but Portobello and other varieties would be just as delicious.

STEP 1

Using a paper-towel, wipe off any dirt on the mushrooms and then slice them thinly.

STEP 2

In a medium deep pot, add the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and Sautee for 3-4 minutes until completely wilted.
Set aside in a small bowl.

STEP 3

Add the butter to the pot. As soon as the butter melts, add the flour to make a roux.
Whisk the mixture for about 1 minute and add the warm beef broth.
Keep whisking to prevent any lumps.

STEP 4

After a couple minutes, add the cream and milk.
Keep whisking slowly over a medium-low heat for about 15 minutes until creamy and thickened.

STEP 5

Season with the salt, white pepper and nutmeg and whisk well.
Add the cooked mushrooms and let simmer for 5 more minutes.
