Lazy Legendary Mushroom Soup

Note 1: Freestyling but the result was awesome!

Ingredients:

4-5 cloves of small-medium size garlic

1 sliver of butter, around 30-60gm

1 dash of cooking oil, around 1 tbsp

1/2 tsp salt

200gm brown button mushroom

2-3 tbsp of all purpose flour

200gm cream, heavy or whipping

1 cup of milk

2-3 cups of water (consistency to your liking)

1 cube chicken stock

1/2 tsp salt

1 large bay leaf

Steps:

1. Preparation wise; smash the garlic, clean and slice mushroom lengthwise.

2. In a medium size pot, melt butter with a dash of cooking oil.

3. Sautee garlic with added salt in the melted butter until butter was slightly browned and garlic was aromatic.

4. Add in mushroom. Stir until well coated with butter and softened.

5. Add in flour and stir to cook until flour was sticky.

6. Add in cream, milk, water, and chicken stock. Stir until well combined and simmering.

7. Add in bay leaf and adjust salt content as you like. Simmer until well infused, somewhere around 15 minutes mark or when it's tasted okay.

8. Take off from heat. Take out the bay leaf and blend with a hand immersion blender to a fine soup. You can add the bay leaf back in once done or take it out completely.

9. Serve warm with garlic bread.
