Mushroom Soup My Way

Since Reese loves to drink mushroom soup. I had no choice but to learn how to cook it! Hope you like my recipe!

Base stock - Chicken stock with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery. Cook the stock for 1 hour plus and then separate the veges for blending later. The stock can be put into little tubs and be frozen.

What you need for the soup:

Fresh mushroom - 4 button mushrooms diced.
A little bit of onion and garlic.
A little bit of butter.
A little bit of dry thyme
A piece of fried fish ( I usually use kurau) cut it up into little cubes
Some vege (from base stock) blended
Base stock
Half a cup of whipping cream

First fry the onion and garlic with butter. Then add in the mushroom and fry till fragrant. Add the fish and the blended vege, base stock and thyme. Let it boil for 10 to 15 minutes and then add in the whipping cream. Boil another 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. That's it!
You can add pasta to the soup to make it a full meal else take the soup with bread. If you want the soup to be thick, you can add more blended vege or a bit of flour.

Hope you like it.
