Originally a take 2 of the Cream of Mushroom soup, this time it was a huge success!
This recipe was something I mixed, matched, and improvised. so I'll try to duplicate the recipe I did:
1/2 pound shiitake or cremini mushrooms, stemmed
2 Carrots, minced
2 Celery sticks, minced
1 Medium Onion, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups Milk
1 cup Chicken Broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of nutmeg
1/4 cup flour
1. Thinly slice the mushrooms then finely chop the slices.
2. Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of butter; when it starts to foam, add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until the mushrooms begin to take on a golden brown color and all of the moisture has cooked off. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Cook until veggies are soft, about 7 minutes
3. Add salt to taste, slowly stir in flour
4. Add cream, chicken broth, and milk
5. Cook on medium heat until soup is hot, add nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Enjoy

I'm proud, I managed to get something put together mostly on my own! I tend to cook with smell as my guide, and this time I combined that with 2 recipes I found, the old mushroom soup recipe and an England clam chowder recipe. Then I modified it to my own tastes and made this! It's yummy yummy yummy, and not too rich like the last one I made!
Success! <3

Looks delish. :) I can't imagine a recipe like this without cheese, tho. it's definitely healthier, but maybe a little less flour and milk and maybe some cheddar/pepperjack combination... Om-nom-grom for sure. :)

Is there a way to make this more vegetarian friendly? I'm thinking of making this, but with vegetable broth instead of chicken. I'm not sure if they cook (read; thicken) differently. Do you think vegetable broth will work in this, or will it be too runny and not work with the milk and cream?

OP
Vegi broth would probably be fine, I love it myself. The flour and cream give it the texture, so you don't have to worry about the broth.

Home made cream soups are my all time favourite kind of soup
