You can't get much easier than this this . . .

Mushroom Soup

3 T. butter or margarine
1/2 c. sliced mushrooms
3 T. all-purpose flour
1 c. milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the flour and stir until the mixture had formed a paste and the flour and the butter are thoroughly incorporated. Add the milk and stir with a whisk or spoon until the paste is completely dissolved. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

And another, slightly different, recipe . . .

Rich Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 lb. mushrooms
1/4 c. margarine or butter
3 T. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. salt
1 c. heavy whipping cream
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) chicken broth
1 T. dry sherry, optional
Freshly ground pepper

Slice enough mushrooms to measure 1 c.; chop remaining mushrooms. Melt margarine in 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sliced and chopped mushrooms. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden brown.

Sprinkle with flour and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Gradually stir in whipping cream and broth; heat until hot. Stir in sherry. Sprinkle with pepper.

I just made the second recipe tonight and it was YUMMY! I omitted the sherry, and added approx. 1/2 cup of sour cream (I doubled the recipe).

Thanks!
