Homemade Cream Of Mushroom Soup With Wild Rice Recipe

This has been one of the warmest winters on record in Pennsylvania, but just a few days ago the temperature finally dipped down below 10°F, just in time to make some hot comforting soup for winter! This recipe comes from my mother, who got it from her mother, and its another one of those family recipes that is not written down anywhere. We all know it by memory, but today I thought I would share it with you! Not a fan of rice? The wild rice is optional - omit it and you will have regular, rich & delicious cream of mushroom soup!

Ingredients 

4 cups of sliced, fresh raw mushrooms

1/2 stick butter

3 heaping tablespoons of flour

1 can (or 1 cup) of beef broth 

1 container sour cream

1/4 to 1/2 cup wild rice, uncooked

1 clove of garlic, crushed (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)

Salt & fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Wash and slice mushrooms, and then place mushrooms in a large soup pot and cover with water and a little extra water (I use about 6 cups of water; if I am using more mushrooms I will increase the water a bit). Sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook on medium high heat.

Simmer mushrooms on medium high heat until mushrooms reach a rolling boil, then turn down and simmer over medium heat.

Add 1/4 cup (or more if you like) of wild rice to the simmering mushrooms. I usually add between 1/4 to 1/2 cup of rice.

Add one cup (or one can) of beef or chicken broth to the mushrooms. I use beef broth.

Continue to simmer the mushrooms, water, rice, and broth on medium heat. 

While the mushrooms are cooking, in a separate medium bowl add 3/4 container to one whole container of sour cream. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of flour and two tablespoons of water. Whisk the sour cream, flour, and water together well and then set aside. 

In a separate, medium sized pot, melt 1/2 stick of butter over medium heat. 

Once melted and just beginning to bubble, add 2 tablespoons of flour, and whisk in quickly with a wire whisk, continuing to whisk, making a roux, while the flour/butter mixture begins to lightly brown. Whisk constantly and be careful not to burn the mixture! You will see it beginning to brown as you stir it on the heat. (see below)

Once it is a nice golden brown as in the photo above, remove from heat and carefully mix the roux into the pot with the mushrooms. It will usually bubble up when you pour the roux in with the mushrooms, so pour slowly! 

Now add the sour cream mixture to the mushrooms, whisking it together well. Add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Simmer, covered, for another 3o minutes or until mushrooms and rice are completely cooked and tender. 

Serve with a crisp salad and crusty bread. Enjoy!

Enjoy your day!

Love,

Built Ins Makeover Using a Paint Sprayer

Who wants to paint a ton of built-ins with a roller and brush?  It's doable but definitely not the smartest, fastest or most professional looking approach.

The last few months I've been making over our upstairs walk-in closet and the most drastic change is painting the built-ins.  I used the Homeright Finish Max sprayer and the results are amazing! 

To be perfectly honest I've never painted with a sprayer before.  The thought of cleaning all the parts was enough to turn me off UNTIL I realized how much square footage there was to paint in all these built-ins.  (There are actually 3 portions of built-ins, the above picture only shows one wall and a small portion of another on the left.)

The smarter person in me decided it was time to give the sprayer a try.

Locker Style Mudroom Shoe Cubbies

Free plans today friends for this large five cubby locker style mudroom.  I built this piece over 3 years ago back in July 2012 and posted it here but I've had so many requests to create proper plans that I finally decided to do it.

Yikes that's an old cringe worthy picture but still a great project so I'm reposting.  This is my friend's house and she has four kids and no mudroom so we created one with this extremely user friendly locker cubby system.

This build is actually two pieces: shoe cubbies on the bottom which also serve as a bench and locker style cubbies up top with shelf storage.  Today I am sharing the plans for the shoe cubbies only.

My Style Forecast for 2016 Part Two More Elephants

AAhh! These elephants are SO cool! I got so excited when I found these jewelry components, and I cant wait to make some new jewelry with them. They would look great on a brass chain, black cord, or even on some lengths of different colored silk ribbon...hmmm...already the wheels are turning. And I think they definitely would look fabulous with some stone beads. I cant wait to get started on them, but I have so much else I have to do! It seems there is never enough time to sit and actually fabricate many of the ideas that are in my head. Thats why its so important to keep a notebook or jewelry artists sketchbook as a place where you can jot down ideas and make quick sketches of designs when they pop into your head. More on that in another post, lets get back to those elephants. 

Theyre everywhere! Yes, theyve been hot early into and throughout 2015, but they are still going strong and I am confident you will be seeing lots more brightly colored & patterned tribal elephants all through 2016.

Be prepared to see more elephants in home decor, clothing, and crafts -and of course, jewelry. I think Ill turn my elephant necklace into a DIY tutorial to share on my blog with all of you...stay tuned! 

Have a great New Year!
Love,
Laura
