Dottie’s Cream of Mushroom Soup for Recipes

8 small mushrooms - chopped
1 stalk celery - chopped
2 tablespoons onion - chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper

In a medium skillet, sauté the mushrooms, celery and onion in the butter until soft.

Add the broth and cook on medium-high heat until reduced by half.
Stir in the cream; bring to boil and cook until reduced slightly, stirring frequently. Season to taste. Makes about 1 cup

This makes a very rich, tasty sauce that would be nice over all kinds of things, like chicken, meatballs, fish, vegetables etc. After adding the cream, make sure you simmer it long enough so that the cream is no longer white and takes on the light brownish color of the mushrooms. If you can afford the carbs, a few more mushrooms would be even better.
