Hey guys,
Not that I proclaim to be an uber healthy cook, I do like to think I try. I hadn't realized until recently that cream o soups like campbell have MSG in them. This is not the end of the world by any means but it made me think, I'll bet that isn't very hard to make. The first one I attempted was cream of chicken soup, the recipe was so easy and fast.

| Add spices, milk and chicken broth, bring to boil |
|
 |
| Whisk in flour, continue to stir |
 |
| Incorporate flour until slightly thickened, allow to cool and you're done. |
This was so simple, it had a much more rich chicken flavor than canned cream of chicken soup. You can also throw in little bits of chicken but I didn't do that this time.
I had recently come across this recipe on how to make cream of mushroom soup in a microwave in 5 minutes. I got the recipe
here. It was indeed very simple, I did discover I'm not overly fond of the smell of raw fresh mushrooms but that is beside the point.

 |
| Toss in food processor, pulse a few times to chop mushrooms |
 |
| Put in microwave safe bowl |
 |
| Microwave on high for 3 minutes, whisking after 2, then 30 seconds more each time until desired thickness |
This was really easy, except the mushroom smell. I'll let you know when I use it in a recipe, for now it's in the freezer until I need it. Until next time ;P.
