Cream of Mushroom Soup

As with the ranch, the store bought cream of mushroom soup is just WAY too unhealthy for me, so i made my own. this recipe has two parts, i canned mine after the first section, then use that base to finish it as needed. this recipe as written yields 2 cups base, 4 cups finished.


MUSHROOM SOUP BASE

8 oz mushrooms
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 cup broth

slice the mushrooms and add them to simmering broth. stir in the garlic powder. simmer for 15 minutes.


CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP

2 cups mushroom soup base
2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup flour

whisk all ingredients together in a pot. bring to a boil and boil for one minute. reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.

the nutritional content HERE is for 2 cups of soup made with Swanson broth. i make mine with a low sodium homemade broth, so its a bit healthier.
