THICK & CREAMY HOMEMADE CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
I was surprised to learn how many of my friends had never tried fresh, homemade creamy mushroom soup. You can literally make it in the same amount time that you can open a can of the same. It's a wonderful comfort food that you should try at least once. There's nothing hard or complicated about it and tastes so incredible...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium soup kettle, melt 3 TB. butter. Saute sliced mushrooms and onion until soft. Add minced garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Melt last TB. of butter in with mushroom mixture and add 3 TB. flour. Cook, stirring gently to coat, for 1 more minute.
- 2. Add chicken broth, then simmer and stir until bubbly and thickened. Add half & half, parsley (if using) and salt and pepper. Heat on medium-low to heat through. Do not boil once you have added the half & half or it will separate. Check and adjust salt and pepper at end as some broths and stocks are saltier than others.
