Cream Of Mushroom Soup

A deliciously warming for a chilly winter's day. I will serve it with Crusty bread.

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:

• 60 g butter
• 1 small onion, diced
• 4 stalks of celery, diced
• 1 leak, chopped
• 200 g mushrooms, chopped
• 3 tbsp flour
• 340 ml milk
• 460 ml chicken stock
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Place the pan over a low heat, add the butter and leave it to melt.
2. Add the vegetables (the diced onion, celery, leeks and mushrooms).
3. Sweat them in the butter for about 5 mins without allowing them to colour
4. When the vegetables are soft and onions translucent, add the flour and mix it in well.
5. Add the milk and chicken stock and stir
6. Before leaving the soup to cook, season it well with salt and pepper.
7. Leave the soup to cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. After the 25 minutes and when you see the soup has turned creamy, pour it into a liquidizer and blend until no bits remain.
9. Taste the soup and if necessary season again then ladle it into a large bowl and serve with crusty bread.
