Instructions

Cream of Mushroom Soup

  • Heat a saucepan on medium heat. Add in 2 tbsp. beef tallow, 2 onions finely chopped, 1 tsp. pink Himalayan salt, and3 cups finely chopped mushrooms. Sauté until cooked through and bits start to stick.
  • Add in1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer 1–2 minutes until evaporated.
  • Add in 3 tbsp. all-purpose Einkorn flour until coated.
  • Add in 3 crushed garlic cloves, 2 1/2 cups organic whole milk . Once simmering, reduce to low. Continue to stir until desired thickness, around 15 minutes.

Crispy Onions

  • In a small bowl, toss together 1 sweet onion sliced into rings and 1 tbsp. dry white wine. Let soak 10-15 minutes.
  • In another small bowl mix together 1/3 cup flour, 1 tsp. Himalayan salt, 1/2 tsp. paprika, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder.
  • Toss the soaked onions into the flour mixture and add in 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Lightly toss until all of the onions are coated.
  • Place in an air fryer pre heated to 375℉ and cook for 5 minutes, flip and cook again. Air fryers can vary, so remove once they are crispy. The time might need to be adjusted.

Putting Together

  • Add 1 lb. French green beans ends snipped and washed to a skillet. Drizzle 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Cook over medium low heat until the green beans begin to soften. About 10-15 minutes.
  • Mix in 1 cup homemade cream of mushroom soup and stir well.
  • Add the crispy onion on top.
  • Place in the oven 20- 25 minutes until bubbly.
  • Remove and serve immediately.

Notes

I like to blend the soup at the end with an immersion blender or food processor. You can leave it chunky as well.
This is the consistency for a can-of-soup substitute. To serve as a bowl of soup, add more liquid.
The key to creaminess is cooking it down low and slow.
