Simple creamy mushroom soup recipe - like the one served in Pizza Hut?

Question

Does anyone here know of a good recipe to make a simple creamy mushroom soup, like the one served in Pizza Hut restaurants? I tried once using Campbell's mushroom soup, but I can't make it creamier and it didn't even have much taste to it.. It wasn't as delicious as the one served in Pizza Hut restaurants.. Anyone with any ideas? Please help and thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Ok,so you want to make Cream of Mushroom Soup huh? Try this recipe:

Fine diced Onion and Celery (about 1/2 cup)
Sliced Mushrooms (8 oz.)
2 Tbl butter
1/2 tsp Thyme
2 cups light chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste

3 Tbl. Corn Starch in 1/2 cup water

In a saucepan melt butter and saute` onions, celery, mushrooms and Thyme until they sweat. Add chicken stock and heavy cream and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer and add enough of the corn starch mixture to thicken the soup. DO NOT OVER THICKEN! If you do then add more chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper

Let me know how it turns out and any other questions you can reach me at JERSEYSHORECHEF1@YAHOO,COM!

By the way, Pizza Hut does not make their own soups. They buy it frozen in a bag premade!

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. And so as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.
