Darcy'S Cream Of Mushroom Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter
2 (12 ounce) packages sliced mushrooms
1 large onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
3/4 cup flour
6 1/2 cups chicken broth (I make from salted chicken base)
3/4 cup white wine (can use sherry)
1 pint half-and-half cream
3 tablespoons fresh parsley (or use less if using dried)
1 dash salt (optional)
1 dash pepper (optional)

Preparation

Melt butter in frypan. Saute mushrooms, onion, garlic until onions are translucent. Add flour, heat until bubbly. Whisk in broth, wine & parsley. Simmer for 10 minutes or more. Add 1/2 & 1/2, heat through but don't boil. Add salt or pepper to taste. I don't add more salt because I use a salted chicken base for my broth.
