ingredients
- 2 large portabella mushrooms
- 4 ounces white mushrooms (approx. 6 med. size)

- 2 cups chicken broth (approx)
- 1 cup half-and-half cream (approx)

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons soya sauce
directions
- Slice all the mushrooms and cut up slices into small pieces.
- Chop onion.
- On medium heat, melt butter (I prefer margarine), saute onion until transparent.
- Add mushrooms, saute until soft.
- Add in thyme, salt, pepper and cayenne (optional).
- Add flour to mushroom mixture to create roue, stir in well, texture should be pasty but not gluey.
- Add in chicken broth till covered but enough that it's not watery but still has a thickness to the broth, stir while pouring to give proper consistency.
- Add in cream, and for a lighter version substitute with milk. Bring to a quick boil then reduce to simmer until thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary. Served great with a nice baguette for dunking! Enjoy!
- Add in soya sauce, it nicely balances out the colour and flavour.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a french canadian girl living in Ontario. Fortunately for me, my mother always continued to cook rich traditional french canadian cuisine, on this note she's passed down recipes that I'm still mastering! I love to cook and perfecting recipes is my goal. My kids have grown up and I'm about to remarry, my husband is in the military and has eaten foods from around the world and some places not so good. He loves to try new foods and I frequently will cook to introduce him to something he's never tried. I've been fortunate enough to have worked in the food industry and have pretty much eaten everything. There's nothing I don't like but be sure there are always recipes that need to be improved!
