For a Girl's Night, Kristi, me and the other Pearson's girls went to Zupa's. I had tried my mom's leftover mushroom soup and was excited for a bowl of my own. As I ate it, I thought I could make it myself. And today, I did. The result was excellent and my kids loved it. Austin's only complaint--not enough mushrooms!!
I have to admit, I based my recipe off Kelli's Corn Chowder.
Mushroom Soup
1 stick butter
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pkg mushrooms rinsed & drained
Melt butter in soup pot. Add onion, garlic & mushroom and simmer until mushrooms are cooked.
Add 1/2 cup flour to create a roux.
Add 3 cups chicken stock.
Bring to a boil.
Add 2 cups milk.
Heat until thickened.
Remove from stove and add 1/2 to 1 sticks butter before serving.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. (You can also add directly to soup. Maybe 1/2 cup?)
Serve with homemade bread, my bread sticks, or French bread. Maybe even a bread bowl! YUM!

Look at you, you little cook! How awesome that you made your own version of a soup! I don't like mushrooms, but Adam does so maybe I'll be a nice wife and make this for him sometime.
Impressive thinking! I can't wait to try this.
Christina, this was AMAZING! I think you seriously nailed it. I shared the jar-full that you gave me with DJ for lunch the other day and I wished that I hadn't cuz I was really sad when it was gone! You have definitely made me a believer in mushroom soup!
