Quick & Easy Mushroom Soup


After a long and smoke filled drive home last night due to the fires that are raging around SoCal I really didn't feel up to a lot of cooking but was starving (as usual)!

Decided to make a quick Mushroom Soup....it's incredibly easy and very yummy!

Quick Mushroom Soup

Serves 4

Ingredients

8 oz mushrooms chopped finely (white, cremini - doesn't matter)
2 tbsps flour
2 tbsps light margarine or canola oil
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (low sodium)
1 cup fat free half and half or 1% milk (use the half & half for a richer soup)
squeeze of lemon juice
chopped parsley, croutons for garnish

Throw all the ingredients except the lemon juice and parsley into a saucepan. Bring to a slow boil stirring continuously. Then simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes. Add lemon juice, salt & pepper to taste.

Serve garnished with parsley and croutons.

Yum!
