Mushroom soup....

Is what I made for tea tonight,
Its been sooooo cold all day I really needed a nice warm bowl of something to warm me up abit
I did plan to make it yesterday but never had time (Not enough hours in the day at the mo!)
Anyway ...finally got around to making it today & thought I would share the recipe.

Ingredients:

400g Mushrooms
1 Onion
1tbsp Butter/Margarine
pinch dried basil (Optional)
450ml Vegetable stock
450ml Milk
1tbsp Plain flour
Salt & Pepper


 Chop mushrooms and onion thinly

 Melt butter in a heavy based saucepan & add onion, fry for 1-2 mins stirring frequently

Add chopped mushrooms, stir and put lid on to allow them to sweat for 5mins stirring occasionally

Whilst the mushrooms are sweating mix a Veg stock cube with 450ml boiling water

 Stir the flour into the mushrooms and cook for 1min
 
Add the stock, stir and then add the Milk add salt, pepper & Basil, bring to the boil                                

Leave to simmer for 10 mins

 Allow the soup to cool slightly then pour into blender and blitz till smooth.
