Chunky cream of mushroom soup...it can't be...or can it...give this a try and find out. The cheese melts into the roux - fabulous. It's warming, filling, and too good to leave any for the next day but it is great with a can of cannellini beans (drained) mixed in with the left over soup and maybe a little thinning of the soup base with more milk. For the leftovers, just heat the soup in a non-stick fry pan and it's lovely again, too - I promise...
oil
1 c. celery, sliced thin into crescents
6 c. mushrooms, sliced
1 c. onions, sliced into crescents
4 t. margarine
3 T. whole wheat flour
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. black pepper
1/4 t. thyme, dried, powdered
1 1/2 c. vegetable broth
2 c. half and half or whole milk
1 T. soy sauce
1/2 c. smokey goat gouda, chopped into pea sized pieces
In a massively large fry pan, saute celery and onion until just becoming caramelized. Add mushrooms which will cook up quickly with the celery/onions. In a separate non-stick fry pan, add margarine and flour stirring to brown the flour. Add the garlic powder, pepper, thyme stirring well to mix in. Stir in vegetable broth whisking vigorously to break up the lumps, add soy sauce and milk slowly. Once the roux (sauce) is sans lumps, add the gouda in a few pieces at a time until it is melted again stirring vigorously. Then pour this onto the celery/onion/mushroom caramelized vegetables tossing well. Thin the sauce if you prefer but it's great thick or thin.
When I’m not thinking up new ways to enjoy mushrooms, I’m sewing bacon with fried egg aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .
Or, I’m knitting slouch hats and stocking caps from thrifted upcycled yarn for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .
My daughter’s have an online shop, www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns , where they hand make and sell all cotton knickers with handy cell pocket in front.
My older daughter has an online shop, www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen, where she designs and knits scarves and afghans from upcycled recycled yarns.
We all knew this was going to eventually happen. 😃 Did you know! 🧠 each species of mushroom has its own specific growing needs.🍄 The beautiful Shiitakes, White Buttons, & Portobellos, all require a little something different than the famous Oysters, Enoki or Beech Mushrooms. Especially when comparing growing medium and nutrients so that your babies can really hit their peak producing levels. 🆙️😄😂 Lucky for you it doesn't matter what🍄your growing, we can help make them bomb💣 Stop by our shop we would love to explain more! 👍 #Mushrooms #MushroomPower #PowerUp #ediblemushrooms #CookedorRawMushrooms #MushroomSoup #psylocibin #cooking #StuffedMushrooms #fungi #mushroomspotting (at Phelan Hydro & Garden Supply) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjSf2qyjYF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Nothing beats a hot bowl of mushroom soup on a chilly day! 🍲🔥 This healthy and hearty option is my go-to when I need something warm to cozy up with. Who else is craving a spoonful right now?
The boy was off from school today so I had time to make a more interesting lunch. The boy and I had watched a Facebook video for instant pot mushroom soup the other day and I decided to try it, since he seemed excited. It’s not the best mushroom soup I’ve ever had but it’s really good. I added a little bit of sherry vinegar at the end, which added some acid and complexity. I’m really happy with it. And the boy said “it’s fine” which is usually the best I get from him the first time he tries something new. @bytesandyum #soup #mushroomsoup #mushrooms ##instantpot #lunch #homemade #homecooking #cooking #food #delicious #tasty #yum (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck1ugLNPOaW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
