Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

If you have ever read a can of cream of fill in the blank soup then you may have gotten scared. I have never realized how many chemicals (and other things I can't pronounce) are in it! I found a recipe online where you can make your own soup. I was a bit skeptical but I ended up trying it tonight and it came out great! Also, it is super easy to make. The ingredients below are for cream of mushroom soup. You can substitute the mushrooms for celery, chicken broth... etc.

Ingredients

- 2 tbsp. butter

- 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms

- 2 tbsp. flour

- 1 cup of milk (if you are doing cream of chicken then use 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of milk)

Directions

1. Melt your butter in a saucepan and cook the mushrooms with it. 

2. Add the 2 tbsp. of flour a little bit at a time and stir continuously.

3. Add the milk a little bit at a time as well while stirring. 

4. Let the soup cook for 3 minutes on medium heat. I added a little bit of extra flour to thicken the soup up a bit. The longer you cook it the thicker it will be.

The picture isn't great, but you get the idea:
