Simply Delicious "Chicken and Mushroom Soup"


Ingredients:

Button Mushrooms - 8oz sliced
Onion - 1 large diced
Garlic Cloves - 3 minced
Cooked Chicken Breast - 1 cubed
Chicken Stock (low sodium) - 3 cups
Butter - 2 tbs
Salt/Pepper - to taste

Flour - 4 tbs
Cold Water - 4 tbs

Steps:

In a medium sauce pan melt butter over medium heat. Sweat butter for 2 minutes and then add garlic. Cook for 1 minute before adding mushroom. Saute mushrooms until soft. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add chicken. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. While simmering combine flour and cold water in a small bowl. Combine until smooth. No flour lumps. Set aside. Return heat to medium. Spoon two heaping spoons of liquid from the soup and add it to the flour mixture. This is to make the flour mixture the same temperature as the liquid in the pot. Once the temperature in bowl is hot add the flour mixture to the pot slowly stirring simultaneously. This will thicken the soup. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to allow soup to thicken.

Serve and enjoy!
