Darcy's Cream of Mushroom Soup

This is by far our favorite mushroom soup recipe. Even my kids will eat mushrooms in this soup! Yummm!

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 6  tablespoons butter
• 2 (12 ounce) packages  sliced mushrooms
• 1  large onion, chopped
• 2  large garlic cloves, pressed
• 3⁄4 cup flour
• 6 1⁄2 cups chicken broth (I make from salted chicken base)
• 3⁄4 cup white wine (can use sherry)
• 1  pint half-and-half cream
• 3  tablespoons fresh parsley (or use less if using dried)
• 1  dash salt (optional)
• 1  dash pepper (optional)

Directions

1. Melt butter in frypan. Saute mushrooms, onion, garlic until onions are translucent. Add flour, heat until bubbly. Whisk in broth, wine & parsley. Simmer for 10 minutes or more. Add 1/2 & 1/2, heat through but don't boil. Add salt or pepper to taste. I don't add more salt because I use a salted chicken base for my broth.
