Easy Cream of Mushroom Soup

We like to serve this soup with croutons.

Ingredients

Serves 4

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms

1/4 cup chopped onion

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth

1 cup half-and-half cream

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat; sauté mushrooms and onion until tender.

Mix flour, salt, pepper and one can broth until smooth; stir into mushroom mixture. Stir in remaining broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in cream. Simmer, uncovered, until flavors are blended, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
