Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces white button mushrooms diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup half and half
1/2 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder, onion powder, salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it begins to foam. This allows the water in the butter to cook off which will create a smoother consistency.
Add the diced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, until liquid is mostly reduced. Add the flour and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chicken broth and stir to combine. Slowly mix in the half and half until combined, then add the seasonings. Whisk continuously and bring to a gentle boil. Stir continuously while it bubbles for about 4 minutes, it will thicken and reduce. Remove from heat.
It will continue to thicken upon standing.

Notes

This recipe makes 2 cups, (16 oz). If you double this recipe, it will give you exactly 3 (10.5 oz) cans.
Baby Bella or Shiitake mushrooms may also be used.
You can freeze these in can-sized portions, these food storage containers perfectly fit 1 "can" of soup so you can easily pull them from the freezer for cooking.
To turn this into a broth for soup: Add about 1/2 cup of milk for every 1 cup of condensed. This tastes great with sauteed celery, carrots, chicken, and even cooked rice! Or, make my regular Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe!
