Cream of mushroom soup (2) | Food-4Tots | Recipes for Toddlers

1 medium stalk of celery (diced) 1 medium white onion (diced) 1 tbsp plain flour (heapful) 30g butter 300ml chicken stock/ broth (or dilute 2 tbsp Maggi concentrated chicken stocks with water) You can add another 50ml stock if you want a more diluted soup 100g pure cream (I use Bulla pure cream with 45% milk fat content) Salt and black pepper to taste Fresh chopped parley and sliced mushrooms for garnishing (optional) Methods: 1. Melt butter in a cooking pot. 2. Lightly saut onion under medium heat until soft and translucent. 3. Add in mushrooms and celery, and saut until medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid released by the mushrooms is fully evaporated. 4. Stir in flour and mix well with the ingredients. 5. Gradually stir in the chicken stock until the soup becomes thick. Bring to a boil. 6. Cover with lid and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom. 7. After that, turn off the heat and let the soup cool a little. Then pour into a blender and blend in batches. 8. Pour the blended soup back into the pot. 9. Add in pure cream and reheat gently for another 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to over-boil it. 10. Season with salt and black pepper. Garnish with some chopped parsleys and sliced mushrooms. Serve with some garlic breads. Tips: 1. Do not soak fresh mushrooms in water as they are very absorbent and will release too much liquid during cooking. Wipe off any dirt from the mushrooms with damp paper towels. If the mushrooms are really dirty, put them in a colander and rinse quickly under a running water. Pat dry with a paper towel. 2. Black pepper, preferably fresh grounded, is the key seasoning for this soup. 3. Mushroom stems are used in this soup.

Reply 2. Amy says: 15 September 2009 at 8:13 pm LK how funny. I was JUST writing about mushrooms yesterday for a different post. I love them and I think they are totally underutilized. One of my favorite soups is with mushrooms and sherry, but I rarely make it because Paul isnt a fan. That picture is gorgeous! Reply food-4tots says: 16 September 2009 at 3:02 pm Amy: Oh! What a coincidence! I got to check it out. Mushrooms and sherry soup sounds interesting and delicious to me!

Reply 3. Cookie says: 15 September 2009 at 9:09 pm I love your mushroom tips! My honey loves mushrooms but they always go bad so quickly cuz I buy the pre-sliced ones and keep them in the plastic bag that they come in. Now I know! Reply food-4tots says: 16 September 2009 at 3:04 pm Cookie: Besides mushrooms, it is also not advisable to buy cut veggie unless you cook them immediately. Reply 4. lisaiscooking says: 15 September 2009 at 10:32 pm I love mushrooms, and your soup looks incredible! Ive never made a cream of mushroom soup, but now Im inspired.

Little Inbox says: 15 September 2009 at 11:53 pm Hmmjust recently I started to use fresh button mushroom, Swiss brown mushroom, enoki mushroom and oyster mushroom in my cooking. I love it! The cream of mushroom can be used as pasta sauce too? Sounds great to me. Give me a bowl of your mushroom soup with few pcs of garlic bread. That can be my complete meal. Reply food-4tots says: 16 September 2009 at 3:37 pm Little Inbox: Once you started cooking mushrooms, I am sure you will get hooked with them. Agree? Reply 6.

Pigpigscorner: Tks! What you had done is absolutely correct! They are edible regardless of which cooking method you adopt. Reply 18. angeline says: 17 September 2009 at 1:55 am Hi, may i know what is meant by pure cream? Is it UHT whipping cream? Reply food-4tots says: 17 September 2009 at 3:48 pm Angeline: According to this source, cream is categorised according to its milk fat content and comes in two forms pure and treated. It mentioned that pure cream does not usually contain any thickening agents and has a fat content of around 40%. I am using Bulla pure cream with 45% milk fat content. Not sure about UHT whipping cream. Maybe you need to compare the milk fat content. Hope it helps! Happy trying! Reply 19. Christine says: 17 September 2009 at 5:24 am I love your little decorations on top of the soup looks too good to eat! Itll be a great winter warmer!

Mikii says: 6 July 2010 at 1:13 pm WowIm sure my kids will be very happy if mummy know how to make mushroom soap, its their fav soap. Can this mushroom soup keep in the fridge, think of doing more and just heat up when we need. Reply food-4tots says: 6 July 2010 at 9:50 pm Mikii: Yes, you can do that but only add in milk/ thickening cream during heating up. If you want to keep it for a longer period, store it in the freezer. Hope your kids will enjoy it! Reply 29. Sherlyn says: 16 July 2010 at 1:21 pm

May i ask, will the soup hv this creamy texture if i dont blend? Reply food-4tots says: 17 July 2010 at 11:11 am Sherlyn: There are 3 things that will make the soup creamy. 1st: flour, 2nd: milk/cream and 3rd: blending. I will definitely recommend you to blend it to achieve the best results. But if you dont have blender, then chopping finely mushrooms and the rest of the ingredients may help as well (to certain extend). Hope it helps and looking forward to hearing your feedback. Reply 30. Mushroom soup lover says: 7 August 2010 at 3:21 pm Hi there, thanks for the soup recipesi tried today and it was really good can she cook without blender the mushroom ? how will it taste ? thanks ! Reply food-4tots says: 8 August 2010 at 9:13 am Mushroom soup lover: Youre welcome! Thanks for the kind feedback and glad that it suits your palate. Your friend can chop finely mushrooms and other ingredients to cook. It may help to certain degree. Tastewise, it will not be as creamy and flavourful as the recommended method. No harm trying the former and judge for yourself. Let me know how it goes. Reply 31. Philomena says: 10 August 2010 at 1:35 pm Hi there, i tried ur recipe yesterday. Wow, indeed it was easy to make & my boys like it. Tks a million. I will surely make it again & again coz both my boys love campbell soups so with this soup I can substitute it. Its healthier. I will experiment with other mushrooms coz i had only shitake & porcillini yesterday. Tks again. Reply food-4tots says: 10 August 2010 at 11:19 pm Philomena: Thanks so much for your kind feedback!!! So glad that it suits your boys taste bud. Yeah, it is definitely healthier and tastier than those canned soups. Feel free to experiment with other mushrooms. Happy trying! Reply 32.

Reply food-4tots says: 28 September 2010 at 11:53 pm Sharon: Thanks for being my fan and glad that your little boy loved my recipe!! Please note that most of my recipes are suitable for toddlers above 2.5 years old. Hence, you may need to adjust the seasonings accordingly. Reply 33. lin says: 7 January 2011 at 9:15 am I want to try this recipe for my little one thanks Dollie!! Reply food-4tots says: 8 January 2011 at 12:20 am Lin: Youre welcome! Hope your little one will love this soup. Reply 34. Mei Ling says: 4 March 2011 at 5:52 pm Hi, I tried the recipe today. Your recipe says to simmer for 20 min but before 10 min was up, my soup became paste-like even though I have added extra chicken stock. I ended up simmered the soup for only abt 10min. It was still paste-like after I blended it and added the pure cream. Is it suppose to be like that? I ended up added some water to make it to the consistency of a cream of mushroom soup. Do you use home-made or ready-made chicken stock? If you use home-made, can you pls share how to prepare chicken stock? Thanks. Reply food-4tots says: 6 March 2011 at 4:20 pm Mei Ling: Thanks for your kind feedback. This soup will be at the thick side as compared to Chinese soup but it will not like a paste. Did all your ingredients fully cover by water/ stock? When you simmer the soup, try to stir it occasionally and make sure the heat is low. Try to reduce slightly the plain flour and add more chicken stock for a diluted soup. For this recipe, I didnt use homemade chicken stock. I diluted 2 tbsp of Maggi concentrated chicken stocks with water. If you want homemade chicken stock, I would suggest that you google for the recipe as it is quite difficult for me to explain in this comment section. Sorry about that. Reply 35. Ice says: 8 October 2011 at 10:18 am Thanks for your sharing! I made it yesterday for my Hubby and he likes it! Anyway, I omitted celery and using original super flour

instead of plain flour since I dont have it at home. Surprisingly, it still turn up yummy! Hurray, i can now say NO to those canned creamy soup Reply food-4tots says: 11 October 2011 at 11:21 pm Ice: Thanks for your kind feedback!! I had stopped buying canned soup for a long time.

Reply food-4tots says: 15 March 2012 at 10:18 pm SL: Thanks so much for your kind feedback! Reply 37. Donna says: 15 January 2013 at 10:33 pm Hi, instead of pouring it inside a blender? It is fine to use a hand held blender instead? Reply food-4tots says: 15 January 2013 at 11:27 pm Donna: Yes, it will be a better option if you have a hand held blender. Reply
