Warm You Up Cream of Mushroom Soup

These winter months can freeze you to the bone-even in the South!
My Cream of Mushroom Soup is just the meal to warm you up! Sauteed
onions, mushrooms, tarragon, and cream cheese make this
soup flavorful, creamy, and just what you need on a cold winter day!

Ingredients:

Makes 6 servings

  • 8 oz (4 cups) baby bella mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 1/2 large Vidalia onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 cups milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 tbsp dried chopped tarragon
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Melt 1/2 the butter in a large saute pan.
  2. Add onions and saute for a few minutes.
  3. Add mushrooms and the rest of the butter and cook for 10 minutes until caramelized.
  4. In a large saucepan bring milk, broth, and cream cheese to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Add mushroom mixture and mix well.
  6. Season with tarragon,  salt, and  black pepper.
  7. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly making sure milk does not scald.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting soup on a cold winter day!

 Sweet onions and meaty mushrooms are
 the main ingredients for this delicious soup.
 In a large skillet melt butter over medium and add diced onions. 
Cook for 10 minutes or until softened.
 Thinly slice mushrooms (baby bella or white are what I like).
I choose to slice them but you can dice them if you prefer. 
 
 Add remaining butter and the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and 
cook for another 10 minutes until softened.
 Meanwhile in a large saucepan add milk (I like to sue heavy cream for a richer soup), chicken broth, and cubed cream cheese. Whisk and heat over medium until it comes to a simmer.
Any cream cheese will work but I like to use the tub and just add spoonfuls to the soup base.
Add mushroom mixture to the soup mix and stir to combine.
Season with tarragon, salt, and pepper.
 Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. 
Then scoop into bowls, serve hot with toasted bread to dip!
Hope this tasty soup fills you up and warms you up during this winter season!

    🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

    Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored
