Everyone loves a delicious mushroom soup, but most are filled with cream and butter. This soup gets its flavor from mixed mushrooms and evaporated milk.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large, nonstick pot lightly coated with cooking spray add 1 tsp of the oil and the mush¬rooms. Sauté for 15 minutes on medium-high heat or until the mushrooms are no longer wet. Remove and save 1/2 cup for garnish. Add the remaining oil to the pan.
2. Add the onions and garlic and sauté on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and sauté for 3 minutes. Add all but 2 cup of the cooked mushrooms and the stock, potato, rosemary, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potato is tender.
3. Purée in a food processor until smooth. Pour back into the saucepan and add the milk, Parmesan and the remaining cooked mushrooms and heat gently and serve.
