Cream of Chicken and Mushroom Soup -Made Easy


 

A very easy breezy recipe for mushroom and chicken soup. Usually flour is added with milk to give a thick texture for the cream of soup. But I have made in a different way and short-cut way .Penne pasta is pressure cooked with chicken legs and mushroom. When they all are cooked well, made a puree in a food processor and viola it’s ready to be served.
You may use potatoes in place of penne pasta to make a thick soup.
