Introduction
I came up with this soup because I really missed the creamy canned comfort soups but wanted a healthier option. This soup really hits the spot for me more than the others ever did! It makes two generous portions and could easily be turned into a complete meal by adding some cooked diced chicken as well.

Ingredients
-
Butter, salted, 1 tbsp
Mushrooms, fresh, 1 cup, diced
Celery, diced, 4 large stalks
White Onion, diced, 1/2 large
Garlic, 2 cloves
4 cups water
Chicken broth reduced sodium, 2 cups (1 can)
Sour Cream, 3 tbsp
Rosemary, 1/8 tsp
Salt, 1 dash
Pepper, black, (to taste)
1 bay leaf
Ground Cumin, 1/4 tsp
Parsley, dried, 1/2 tsp
Directions
When dicing the celery you can save a few of the leaves for garnish. Place diced mushrooms, onion, garlic and celery in a large pan and saute with the butter on medium heat until light golden brown. In a large pot bring 4 cups of water and 2 cups chicken broth to a gentle boil. Add sauteed vegetables and all remaining ingredients EXCEPT the sour cream. Stir and allow to 'boil down' on medium/low heat for 20-30 minutes. After cooking, allow the soup to cool a bit. Once the soup has cooled, remove the bay leaves. Transfer the soup to a food processor or blender and add the sour cream. Blend to desired consistency and serve with celery leaves as garnish. Enjoy! Depending on how long you reduce this while cooking, it makes about 2 servings that are 2 cups each.
