If you are a fan of fresh (or even dried) morel mushrooms, this is the soup for you. Everyone who eats morels knows that they go best sautéed with onions, garlic, and butter. This incorporates all of those ingredients to create a magnificently creamy soup, strong with morel flavor, but not too overpowering. Serve with crusty bread or garlic croutons.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 large onion , diced
- 8 ounces fresh morel mushrooms , sliced
- 1 tablespoon chicken soup base
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 0.13 teaspoons ground dried thyme
- salt to taste
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, and morels; cook, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken soup base and flour; cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in water and cream; bring to a simmer, and cook 5 minutes.

Grammy's Overnight Lasagna
My Grammy's version of lasagna. Prepared the day before and left in the fridge overnight, it pops quickly into the oven and is on the table in no time. Sometimes I'll gussy it up with herbs and spices, but there is something nice and simple and homey about how Grammy made it. Easily halved or doubled!
