Anyone getting any shrooms?
Here's a great recipe for Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup and it's so fantastic!
Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup
Here's the soup ..and I am serious about the stirring or it will scorch.. LOL!
half a stick of butter - reserve about a 1 tablespoon chunk
3 stalks celery diced
one small diced onion, preferably a sweet one
1 glove garlic minced
3 - 4 cups chopped, wild mushrooms
1 TBSP each Rosemary, parsley, thyme, oregano and basil
(sorry I just cut bundles from the garden.. this really is an estimate..)
Using the butter sauté all of the above ingredients until the vegetables are clear.
Melt the other chunk of butter in a heavy soup pot...stir in a small handful ( I have little hands and use whole wheat flour) flour and brown it to make a good thick bubbly roux...
Into the roux, gradually stir in about 4 cups half and half & let this simmer and get bubbly.. add about two tablespoons of lawry's perfect blend seasoning a rub - fish and seafood... keep stirring cause this will scorch if you aren't careful, then dump in all the sautéed goodies and stir some more...heat everything through.. I let mine simmer a good little bit to get a rich full shroomy flavor...
If that seems to thick or too creamy.. you can always thin it with a little milk or chicken broth.. but me... I just like it really smooth and creamy and thick.. almost like a chowder..
a shortcut version, that is really just as good and not quite so time consuming, is to brown the shrooms etc., in the butter in the skillet.. transfer to the soup pot, dump in a can of cream of celery soup and a quart of half and half.. bring it to a good boil then transfer to the crock pot.. yummy when you come back in the door from the woods!
UPDATE: Just talked to my kiddo.. she thinned her leftovers with a little milk, baked slices of deer roast with potatoes and carrots in it.. she says it's very yummy that way too!

Does anyone have SquirrelWolf's Catfish Cake recipe? I can't seem to find it and the picture of them looks soooo yummy. I love catfish in any way, shape or form, lol. If anyone has this recipe, or knows where to find it...I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks and God bless you all. Joanne/mawma7
Hello everyone, I'm new here....
Hi everyone....I'm new to eons.com, just today so thought I'd join a couple of groups. I love cooking and been told I'm a pretty good cook. I wrote a cookbook for my kids and sisters....but not officially published. :( But it was fun, just took a number of years. I hope to share and receive some great recipes here. Take care and God bless you all. Joanne
