Cream of Mushroom Soup

 Remembrance Day and overcast days call for soup…I think

On these days I feel like comfort food and I think that cream soup fits that bill. This all came together pretty quick.

I sautéed chopped celery and onions in butter, then added the chopped mushrooms with thyme. I  simmered  that for 5 minutes. Then I added a couple tbsp of flour. I cooked for a few minutes, stirring the whole time. Then I added chicken broth, and scraped the bottom of the pan (that’s where the good flavour bits are) I simmered for 5 minutes. Then I added some cream and turned it to low and let that simmer for 5 minutes.  Then I spooned it in to my bowl and devoured it.

It was like a big warm hug.

Fresh Bruschetta & Feta on garlic Toast

On the lunch menu today.. Fresh bruschetta and feta on garlic toast.  It makes the perfect lunch.

What I like about this is that I just chopped up a few Campari tomatoes and red onions. I added some olive oil, salt, pepper, a clove of fresh garlic and some italian seasoning. It was the perfect amount since my husband isn’t a big fan of bruschetta.  That’s ok I got my fix and he didn’t have to eat any. Some times I add balsamic drizzle too. Happy Wednesday lunch!
