Change in weather and down with cold ..........that is the worst things when you have small baby/kids at home ! Next thing which i thought was to have a hot steaming soup.feeling sick and not in a mood to visit any supermarket to buy the ingredients for soup but then had few mushrooms left in the refrigerator.
I have never tried preparing mushroom soup at home but loved having it outside. When i checked the recipe everywhere it was given with butter and cream but I have prepared it as low calorie recipe.
Ingredients
Mushrooms-3 cups chopped
Onion-1 big chopped
Garlic-4-5
Olive oil-3 tbsp
Milk- 1/4 cup ( some even like to add coconut milk )
Water-4 cups
Salt
Black Pepper
Method
1. In a pan take olive oil add garlic and saute it , now add onion and let it change colour.
2.Add chopped mushrooms now and cover it for 5-7 minutes.You will see that mushrooms will start leaving the water.
3.Now add the water to it and let it boil for 20-25 minutes .
4.Turn off the flame and blend it bit coarsely .
5.Put it again in the pan ,add milk and let it boil for 5-7 minutes. Add salt to it.
6.I have garnished with more black pepper as had very bad throat.
Note:
Soup colour is bit dark as i took shitake mushroom and since I made it a low calorie soup i didn't add any cream or butter to it.
