Ingredients
- ½ Cup Butter
- ½ Cup Chopped Onion
- 16 oz. Sliced Crimini Mushrooms
- ¼ Cup Flour
- 5 Cups Chicken Broth
- 3 Cups Half and Half
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon White Pepper
Instructions
- Clean mushrooms, removing any dirt or debris that may be stuck to them. Rough chop them up.
- Rough chop the onion as well. Since you will be blending this soup up, you will not need to worry about how precise it's chopped.
- Melt ½ cup or 8 tablespoons butter to sizzle in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions.
- Lightly sauté them until the mushrooms slightly soften and the onions look translucent.
- Stir in the flour until all the white streaks are gone, making a paste.
- Add the chicken broth a little at a time, stirring as you go until all the broth has been added.
- Simmer until the mushrooms are soft all the way through. They will be soft but not rubbery.
- Remove the pot from the heat for a moment. If you are wanting chunks of mushrooms or large pieces of mushrooms in your finished soup, remove them from the pot and set them aside.
- Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender, bullet blender, or food processor.
- Return the blended soup to the pot with any mushroom chunks or pieces you set aside.
- Turn the stovetop temperature a bit lower than medium heat.
- Add the slightly warmed half-and-half garlic powder and white pepper.
- Add salt to taste.
- Don't allow the soup to come to a boil again. Just heat until hot.
- Serve a warm bowl of soup with crusty bread!
- Store soup in an airtight container in the fridge!
