Today's post is a soup,perfect for the chilling weather outside and gloomy darker days-Cream of mushroom soup.Cream of mushroom soup is a thick soup perfect to serve for guests and is delicious for all mushroom lovers.I have used regular button mushrooms but you may use any variety or combine it to use too.Enjoy the hot soup in the awesome weather now !!

Ingredients
button mushroom /bella 1 lb/8 oz
pearl onion 2 sliced/sweetonion sliced 2 tbsp
garlic 1 clove shredded
corn flour /all purpose flour 2-3 tbsp
butter 2 tbsp
vegetable stock 4-5 cups(refer notes)
heavy cream 1/2 cup/whole milk 1/2 cup
italian seasoning 1/2 tsp crushed(refer notes)
salt to taste
ground pepper to taste

Method
-Wash and pat dry the mushrooms.Slice them,keep aside.Peel and slice the garlic and shallots.
-If you are using milk,then boil the milk and keep aside.
-Heat oil in a pan and add butter.When butter melts,saute the sliced mushrooms,along with sliced shallots and garlic till the moisture completely evaporates and the mushroom changes color to brown.
-Crush the italian seasoning in your palm and add the italian seasoning with all purpose flour.Toss it well.
-Put off flame and let it cool.Remove 3 or 4 sliced mushroom for garnish.
-Add about half cup of water and add the sauted mixture in a blender and blend until smooth.
-Heat the pan again and put the blended mixture.Let it come to boil and thicken for another 5 minutes.
-Lower the flame and add the cream or boiled whole milk.

NOTES
* You can add chicken stock instead of vegetable stock too.
* You can add any desired herbs of your choice,I have added Italian seasoning.
* If you wish to have bites in the soup,then add the mushroom just like that (don't blend)instead add 2 tbsp of flour to half a cup of water,dissolve and then add to the pan.Then finally add the remaining vegetable stock and boil to thicken.
