Low Fat Creamy Mushroom Soup

By dette

The photo just didn't do this soup justice - it's so flavorful and light at the same time, even my teen who could care less about eating "light" often requests this.

And, it's so simple to make, the shitake mushrooms give this soup incredible flavor, I wouldn't substitute them. If you are watching your sodium, you can certainly use less bouillon or replace it with chicken broth.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp flour
• 4 cups water
• 4 tsp Better than Bouillon Chicken (or 2 chicken bouillon cubes)
• 5 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 8 oz baby bella, sliced
• 1 celery stalk
• 1 tbsp light butter (optional)
