Mushroom Soup with Chives, Another Simple Supper.

Here is another simple supper for you working moms. This may not be favored by your kids if they don't care for mushrooms, not everyone does. But it could be served as an appetizer for adult guests. Or serve as a lunchtime delight for the ladies. It's that good! Personally, we all love mushroom anything, so this is popular when we get together. Here's what I use:

2 cups of fresh mushrooms., chopped fine.

1/2 cup of butter (Yum).

1/4 cup of regular flour.

2 cups of half and half.

1/4 cup of finely chopped chives.

Melt your butter in a fairly large saucepan, then add your mushrooms and saute until tender. Add the flour, mustard and salt, and cook, while stirring constantly, for one minute. Pour in the chicken broth and cook/stir until thickened. Add the half and half and chives and continue to heat through, but do NOT boil. Add a crusty loaf of Italian bread and you're all set. Serves 4 to 6.
