Title: Cathe's Mushroom Soup
Categories: Soups, Cathe
Yield: 1 Batch

3 tb Butter (more if needed)
2 c Mushrooms, sliced
1/2 c Burgundy wine, hearty
-(or less)
2 tb Flour
2 c Half-and-half (or less)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Saute mushrooms in butter until brown. Add wine when mushrooms start
making their own juice; cook over medium heat until all liquid evaporates
and clear oil from butter is in pan, about 10 minutes.

Add flour and cook on high about 5 minutes; stir and blend, cook till
nut-brown. (Like a medium brown roux, except for mushrooms and is
wine-colored.) Can add more butter as necessary to make a smooth "sauce"
texture. Stir constantly.

Stir in half-and-half (can substitute milk) until you have the thickness or
amount of soup you want; stir to creamy consistency. Salt and pepper to
taste. Makes about 1 1/2 to 2 cups soup.
