Mushroom soup 香濃蘑菇湯

Hey everyone! It's been a really busy month. I haven't been lazy, but couldn't update my blog for a month because of my work.

To survive from such my hectic schedule, food is always the medicine. I've tried ordering some crab-related food online, and will share with you all later. First of all, I'd like to introduce you one of my favourite soup - MUSHROOM soup!

This time, I bought two types of mushrooms, one was portobello (you can always see it at Yata or other supermarkets). I don't know the other one though. Anyway, any types you like! You can try porcini mushrooms.

1. Chop the mushrooms. I didn't chop them very finely because I love eating mushrooms.
2. Add a bit of oil to your pot / pan. Add a bit garlic and/or onions as well. Stir-fry them until you smell them.
3. Add the mushrooms to the pot. Stir-fry them until you see some water coming out.
4. Add a bit of flour to the mushrooms.
5. Add chicken broth (I added a bit of water as well as I didn't want it to be too salty). If you use dried porcini, you can add the water which you soak your mushrooms with. 
6. Blend the mixture with a blender until it's thick. (I don't have hand-held blender, so I waited for the soup to cool down a bit before blending it.) (It depends on the texture you like. If you like it to be richer, blend a bit longer.)
7. Return the blended soup to the pot. Reheat it till boil. Turn off the fire and add in some cream (I added a bit of milk).
8. Add salt and pepper to taste.
