Creamy Mushroom Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
6. Serve hot.

Notes:

• Use a deep saucepan to prevent splattering.
• For a thicker soup, puree some of the cooked mushrooms and broth in a blender before adding the cream.
