Ingredients
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon paprika
1 quart half and half
1 cup vegetable broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 green onions, chopped
1 pound button mushrooms
1/2 cup butter
Step by step
Chop all of your mushrooms into very tiny pieces. Sauté your mushrooms and onions with butter in a soup pot over medium heat until the mushrooms release their water. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the sautéed mushroom mixture with the flour; let sit for a few minutes. Add the vegetable broth, stir, and return to medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Add the half and half and let the soup simmer until all of the ingredients are heated through. Add the paprika to the soup and stir.
With a ladle, remove half of the soup into a large bowl. Using your KitchenAid® hand blender, blend the soup that is left in your soup pot. Once blended, add the reserved soup back into the pot, stir, and let it heat through for about 3 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and serve warm.
