Preparation
  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  3. Stir in the flour, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the broth, making sure to break up any lumps.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Heat through and adjust seasoning to your taste.

Notes

For serving, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or croutons. This soup also makes a great base for casseroles and other dishes. Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or 2-3 months in the freezer. For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk. Use a mix of mushrooms for more flavor.
