Creamy Mushroom Soup

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Creamy Mushroom Soup uses dried mushrooms, bouillon cubes, evaporated milk, and dried herbs and spices to make a soup during disaster situations.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 ounce dried mushrooms
  • 3 cups boiling water, divided
  • 1 cube beef bouillon
  • 1 tablespoon dried onions
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 (13-ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Place mushrooms in saucepan and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Let stand for 10 minutes, or as long as package directs. Process mushrooms as directed (sometimes you are asked to remove the stems).

Place saucepan on medium heat and stir in remaining water and beef bouillon and dried onions. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.

Add cornstarch, pepper, and thyme and heat until soup thickens. Add milk and heat again until soup almost comes to a simmer. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve. Serves 3-4
