Creamy Mushroom Soup

By cwyorkiex3

Grandma had a great way to keep the remaining tomato paste after using the 3 tablespoons needed for this recipe: She spooned the tomato paste into ice cube trays in 1 tablespoon portions. That way, she could easily use just the number of tablespoons she needed for another recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons dry white wine, or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2.Add broth, tomato paste, wine, salt and black pepper to the mushroom mixture and mix well.

3.Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

4.Combine egg yolks, Parmesan and parsley in a medium bowl and mix well. Add 1 cup of the mushroom mixture; return to mushroom mixture in the saucepan.
