Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 cups mushrooms chopped
- 2/3 cup milk warmed
- salt and pepper to taste
Melt butter in a small sauce pan on low heat.
Add in the mushrooms and saute for about 10 minutes to remove moisture. They should be soft and slightly browned.
Add in your flour and mix well to create a roux.
Once the flour has incorporated, add in the warm milk.
Stir constantly until the soup base has thickened. When you can run a spatula through without it immediately refilling the space, it's ready. This takes about 5 minutes.
Transfer to another container and let cool for 10 minutes. Then feel free to use it as a substitute for canned cream of mushroom soup.
