Cream of Mushroom Soup




Made and repeated the same mistake again!   Forgot to take end product pictures!
Despite of this, others are good.
I prefer this recipe very much compared to previous version as it didn't use any potato and made it less heavy (and less guilty) when having it. 
The tastes very nice until comparable to some of Italian restaurants (*happy*)






I changed half of champignon mushrooms portion with chinese mushrooms and cutted it into slices





Finely minced onion, stem leek and chinese mushrooms





 Finely minced parsley





 Caramelize mushrooms, leek, onion and parsley in hot butter or ghee (I used ghee)





Dredge with flour and fry just about 1 minute more





 Deglaze with broth and milk and let the mushroom soup simmer for about 20 minutes





 Take about 1/3 of the mushromms beside and blend the soup in a mixer
