When the weather gets cold our thoughts turn to comfort food and a definite favorite are casseroles.  The problem with most of the recipes out there call for canned cream soup which of course has sugar and chemicals.  I prefer to eliminate them from my meals so decided to go on a mission to find the perfect base for these great dishes.  As a bonus, this recipe makes a great base for other cream soups.

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 onion – minced
2 cloves minced garlic
8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms – rinsed & drained
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt (or to taste)
1 heaping teaspoon chicken bouillon (Better than Bouillon)
3 Tablespoons almond flour
2 Tablespoons coconut flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream.
1/2 cup water

Directions:

Melt butter and cococonut oil in medium saucepan.  Add onion, mushrooms, salt, & garlic, saute until done.  Add almond & coconut flours blend well and continue cooking until lightly browned.  Add HWC & water.  Mix throughly and cook through.  Put entire mixture into blender & and blend at low speed until smooth.  May be heated and served as is or used as either a base or a substitute for cream soup in recipes.

I truly love my Blentec Blender!  From smashing through ice to mixing smoothies and soups – it is a work horse and always gives the best results.
