Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Fresh mushrooms, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and most of their liquid has evaporated.
Step 3
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the milk and broth, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a condensed soup consistency.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use immediately in recipes as a substitute for 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, or let cool and refrigerate for later use.
