Ingredients

• 1/4 c. butter
• 6 oz. mushrooms, finely chopped (any kind, but cremini are good)
• 1/4 c. onion, finely diced
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 c. heavy cream
• 1/2 c. chicken stock/broth

Steps

1. Wipe off mushrooms to clean.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; add mushrooms and onions; sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add flour; stir with a fork to remove lumps; cook 2 minutes. Quickly whisk in cream and chicken stock/broth until smooth. Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute; remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed. It should be saltier than normal because it is a condensed soup.
