Cream of mushroom soup

Preparation – 5 minutes

Begin by dicing the onion. Finely chop the three cloves of garlic and set aside until needed. If you want the soup to be ready quickly, you can heat up the chicken stock in advance. Just be careful not to let it boil. 

Finishing the cream of mushroom soup – 15 minutes

Start by heating a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add in the diced onions and garlic. Sauté the onions and garlic until soft. Turn the heat down to a medium-low setting to prevent the onions and garlic from taking on any extra colour.

Add the flour to make a roux. a roux is produced by cooking flour with fat (usually butter). In this recipe, we are making a garlic and onion roux. Turn up the heat and add the chicken stock to the saucepan.

Once the stock reaches the boil, turn down the heat a little. Add the mushrooms and simmer until soft enough to be eaten with just a spoon. Add cream, salt and pepper to taste.

Give the soup a good stir, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Enjoy your meal!
