Mommy's Home Made Cream of Mushroom Soup

After months of talking about it, Mommy finally did some homework to surf for online recipe on how to make cream of mushroom soup.

She sought help from Aunty Judy(Malc's mommy who is good cook & baker)and Aunty Judy recommended Mommy to try out the recipe found at Wokking Mom's blogand Mommy found another recipe from Cook UK

So she decided to combine the 2 recipes and make her own version of Cream of Mushroom Soup which turned out to be quite yummy... Good try, Mommy!

Here is Mommy's version of Cream of Mushroom Soup: -

Ingredients: -
* 5 Fresh White Button Mushroom, sliced
* 5 Fresh Shitake Mushroom, sliced
* 60g Unsalted Butter
* 60g Corn Flour
* 100ml Evaporated Milk
* 350ml Chicken Broth
* 1 clove garlic, chopped
* 2 small onions, chopped

Methods: -
1. Clean the fresh mushrooms by rinising them in water and cut away the stems, and sliced thinly.
2. Heat up the butter in a pan, and slowly add the chopped garlic & small onions to fry till they are soft and not browned.
3. Next, to add in the mushrooms and cook over high fire for 5 minutes and must stir constantly to prevent sticking onto the pan.
4. Add in the 60g corn flour gradually and slowly pour in evaporated milk while stirring.
5. The mixture will become dough-like and you can add in the chicken broth and keep stirring till it become creamy.
6. You can add a pinch of salt to taste (but I did not add salt)
7. Pour the soup into a blender/food processor, and blend till it is smooth.
8. Last, pour the blended soup into the pan and reheat till boiling.

Bonjour!
