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!
