Fresh Mushroom Soup
Yes, I know you can buy it in a can, but you can make it fresh in less
than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
• 1lb fresh mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and chopped
• 1 small onion, ¼-inch dice
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp flour
• 4 cups of a good beef stock
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup sour cream
You will need a large saucepan.
Instructions
1. Melt butter; cook mushrooms and onion until tender.
2. Sprinkle with the flour and cook about 2 minutes, stirring
constantly.
3. Stir in stock, water and salt; simmer about 10 minutes, stirring
often to prevent sticking to pan.
4. Just before serving, stir in sour cream and heat but do not bring
to a boil.

Recipes are like stories; they can change from person to person. Everyone has their idea of how a recipe should be, even
though it may have changed from the original. We will never know the true author of the original recipe, regardless of
what some may say. That's why I go back and look through the oldest cookbooks that I can find. Sometimes it's not the
recipe in the books that I find, but the tiny pieces of handwritten recipes and newspaper articles that are stuck within
the pages. That's where the real story is, finding those simple Southern recipes. -Mac
