How to Use this Blog

This blog is designed to be used like a cookbook. I've put tags on each recipe so you can go to the section on that topic just by clicking on the word in the cloud or the list. Some recipes are under more than one category to help you find what you're looking for.

Mushroom Soup

 

I got this recipe from Linda Terpstra who got it from a cookbook.  I think she said it might have been one of those Dallas classics like the Arboretum or such.  But it's such a basic I figure it's in every cookbook in America.  I loved the mushroom soup at Monk's Oven restaurant and when they closed the restaurant, I told Shannon Monk I wanted her to give me the recipe.  But she said it was in another cookbook and I could find it there.  So apparently, it's not any big secret. 

Linda and I use 4 tablespoons of flour.  I also only use 1 cup of whipping cream so that it's slightly thicker.  I also throw in a dash of sherry.  

It freezes well so when I make it, I always freeze the leftovers in 1-pint Ziplock bags.  It's great for an impromptu fancy lunch.
