Hungarian Cream Of Mushroom Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 - 3 lbs beef bones (from leftover standing or prime-rib bones with lots of meat left on them)
    5 cups beef stock (see first step!)
    6 cups water
    1 cut-up onion
    1 1/2 cups baby carrots
    3 celery ribs (old is fine)
    3 cups heavy cream
    1/2 tablespoon penzey's prime rib dry rub seasonings
    1/2 tablespoon penzey's half-sharp Hungarian paprika
    1/2 cup butter
    1/2 cup Wondra Flour
    1 (8 ounce) can mushrooms
    2 cups shredded or diced standing beef roast or 2 cups prime rib roast
    salt and pepper
Preparation
    Boil bones in 6 cups water with one cut-up onion, 1-1/2 cups baby carrots, 3 ribs of celery,salt and pepper.
    Simmer for 3-4 hours.
    Strain and save veggies and beef that's fallen off the bone.
    Puree vegetables and boiled beef bits.
    Chill stock and remove hardened fat.
    Melt butter in a 4-6 quart pot.
    Combine Penzey's Prime Rib Rub, Penzey's Hunarian Half-Sharp Paprika, & Wondra flour. Add to butter to make a roux, stirring with a whisk.
    Brown over medium/low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, or until nutty aroma is achieved. Add your 5 cups beef stock.
    Move heat to medium, and bring to a gentle boil. When slightly thickened, add cream, diced or shredded beef, mushrooms, and reserved pureed vegetables/beef from when you boiled the beef stock earlier.
    Add salt (and lots of pepper!) to taste.
    Serve with a nice, crusty French loaf!
