I had a hankering for some cream of mushroom soup. It actually came after I got a massive quantity of deli meat. And everyone knows, soup and sandwiches is like beer and cigarettes. Lol! Bad analogy, but you get the idea. I utilized some leftover bones from a bbq steak to make some broth. Of course you can use something else.

Steps

40 Minutes

1

Prep ingredients as shown.
2

Put a little canola oil in a large pot and sauté onion and garlic. Throw the whole stick of butter in along with the mushrooms. Cook a couple minutes while coating everything with butter. Season with herbs and spices. Dump in the flour and cook another few minutes. Finally add in the broccoli.
3

Introduce the red wine. Stir and cook out alcohol. Add the Stock to the party and stir. Simmer for about 15 minutes to allow it to thicken.
4

Pour in half and half while stirring. Add enough to get a cream of mushroom looking color. That is at your discretion. If you happen to add too much liquid, mix a little corn starch with cold water and pour it in. That should thicken things back up.
5

Finish with parsley flakes and a little grated Parmesan. Sandwiches are optional, of course.
