Turn heat off and add 1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk, stir into soup mix. Do not allow soup to boil or cook after adding milk. Add pepper to taste. Serve immediately.





Cream of Mushroom Soup





1-1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms, or other dried mushrooms


7 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned


6 tablespoons unsalted butter


5 cloves garlic, minced


10 ounces button mushrooms, chopped


2 leeks (white part only), thinly sliced


2 medium shallots, thinly sliced


7 tablespoons all-purpose flour


3 parsley sprigs


3 sprigs fresh thyme


1 bay leaf


1/2 cup heavy cream


1 teaspoon Madeira


1 teaspoon kosher salt


Freshly ground black pepper





Place the dried mushrooms in a large bowl. Bring the broth to a boil and pour over the dried mushrooms. Set aside to rehydrate for about 20 minutes.


Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms and reserve the broth. Roughly chop the mushrooms.


Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the button and rehydrated mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and somewhat dry, about 6 minutes. Add the leek and shallot and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.


Pour in the reserved mushroom broth, taking care not to add any grit or dirt that may have fallen to the bottom of the boil, and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley sprigs, fresh thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the soup. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.


Remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Using a sieve over a large bowl, strain the mushroom puree. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.


Whisk the heavy cream, Madeira, and salt into the soup and season with pepper to taste. Divide among warm soup bowls and serve immediately.

Cream Soup Base


This is a creamy soup base that will make many types of cream soup. Use your imagination and create a new soup





INGREDIENTS


1/2 cup butter


6 tablespoons all-purpose flour


2 cups milk


2 cubes chicken bouillon


ground black pepper to taste








DIRECTIONS


Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour and make a paste. Add milk and bouillon cubes. Cook over low heat until thickened. Add pepper to taste. Add more milk when adding the other soup ingredients, depending on the thickness you desire.


To this base you may add steamed broccoli and American cheese; or chunks of baked potato (peel and all) with American cheese, bacon pieces, and chives; or pureed, stewed tomatoes for a bisque; or leeks that have been cleaned well, steamed, and chopped; or cooked asparagus cut in pieces (if canned asparagus is used, add some of the liquid as well), topped with grated cheese and bacon pieces.





I made this for a group event and it was loved by all. I added the baked potatoes and bacon. I found I needed a lot more milk for a less thick soup. I used 1% milk and everyone still thought it was made with cream.
I went to http://www.cooks.com/rec/search?q=cream+鈥?/a>


and found 1660 different recipes. so I am sure that you can find a cream soup that is right for you, enjoy
I love having cream of potato soup with penne rigate noodles. I usually cook the noodles and drain the water out I leave just enough in there to line the bottom of the pot.. Then I add a can of cream of potato soup.. and to make it extra creamy i add a slice or two of white american cheese or a half a cup of parmasean either fresh or the craft that comes in the shaker bottle.. Try it.. Youll love it I promise..


If you dont like cream of potato try any other cream of soup and do the same thing..
You can make any soup creamy....Just add cream or 1/2 and 1/2 slowly and make sure its warm so you dont curdle the milk.
