Cream of Mushroom soup

I never tried using mushrooms at home. But always wanted to buy them,but never had the guts. What if no one liked? My hubby is not too fond of them especially on his pizza. And then when I finally decided to give it a try, I saw a varieties of them in the super market and was confused on which one to buy. Finally someone told me white button mushrooms are a good option. I got them and decided to make a soup. Everyone liked it and I decided to try out other mushroom recipes too in future. This soup is another Tarla Dalal's delicious recipe.

Ingredients-
White button mushrooms- 200gms
Onions- 2 nos
Potato- 1 no
Fresh cream- 100gms
Butter- 2tbspns
Salt and pepper to taste

Method-
Chop the mushrooms, onions and potato. Heat butter and fry the onions and mushrooms for 5 to 6 minutes. take out and keep aside a little of the mushroom and onion mixture. Add the potato and fry them for 3 to 4 minutes. Add 6 tea cups water and cook in a pressure cooker. When cooked blend in a liquidiser and strain. Add the balance muchrooms and onion mixture to the soup and boil for 10 minutes. Add salt ,pepper and cream. You can ganish with chopped parsley.

Thanks Sowmya!Even I don't like mushrooms, but when you are saying that this tastes good, I got to give this a try. White button mushrooms of all varieties(I've heard)are best and mostly used for continental recipes.
