It's been a while

Yes it's been a while but here is a new one for all of you fans of mushroom out there...

Gluten-Free Mushroom Soup (Organic)

16 oz. Portabella mushrooms (or any mushroom really) sliced (if huge then dice too)
1 TBS butter or olive oil for sautéing
4 Tbsp. Goat milk butter (can use cow but I love the creaminess of goat)
1/2 c. white or brown rice flour
2 c. organic chicken or vegetable stock
1 1/2 c. Whole goat milk or organic ½ and ½
scant ½ tsp lemon juice
white pepper to taste
a tiny pinch of nutmeg

1. Sauté mushrooms over medium-low heat in 1 tsp. of olive oil. Set the mushrooms aside once they have released their juices.
2. In a clean skillet, melt the 4 Tbsp. of butter. Once the butter is melted, gradually add the flour to the butter while constantly whisking.
3. Once you’ve added all of the flour, allow the roux to cook for a few minutes while you continue to whisk it.
4. Gradually began to add the stock to the roux. Add a little bit and whisk it in before you add any more. Once you’ve added all of the stock, begin adding the milk.
5. After adding all of the cream, bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for one minute. Continue whisking since the sauce may continue to thicken. Add the sautéed mushrooms into the sauce, and you’re done.
