Dead Easy Low Carb Food 2 - Shroom Shoop

This one is proper easy as well, but it tastes great - if you like mushrooms.  It'll take half an hour including mucking about time.

Heinz Mushroom Soup is about 7% mushrooms.  This one laughs in the face of that and snogs its sister into the bargain.

What you need - 
About 300 - 400g (14 oz) Mushrooms  (some that are going past their best will be fine)
A small onion.  (Not like, tiny though.)
A good dessert spoon of butter.  then a bit more.
A really good glug of what ever oil you like (I used walnut oil)
2 ladles worth of double cream (heavy cream in the USA)
1 generous tablespoon of Full Fat Philadelphia, or some other cream cheese.
A bit of water. (sorry - a drop of water.)
Salt and Pepper.
A handful of something else.  Like ham. or celery, or bean sprouts (If you like)
A heavy bottomed pan that won't burn your food.
A hand blender and something to blend stuff in.
A wooden spoon.
A cooker.
Somebody to wash up.

What you do-
1 - Heat the butter and oil in the pan
2- Chop up and fry 3/4 of the mushrooms (Pick the worst ones.  Leave the best to later)
3 - Roughly chop the onion and bung it in.  Peel it first.
4 - Add some of that water.  You don't need to cover it in water.  Just enough to spread the heat around.
5 - Now is a good time for salt and pepper.
6 - You don't want to be over hot on this.  Half way heat is fine.

Step 6

 7 - Cover the pan.  Tidy up and get your salad ready. Chop the rest of the mushrooms. Come back to it in ten minutes.  Give it a stir during that time if you're bored.
8 - Pour half of the mix into a blender jar.  Use the hand blender on it quite thoroughly. (you should have a black mush)

Step 8

 9- LIGHTLY blend some of the rest of the stuff in the pan.  (so that you get a variety of sizes)
10 - Slop the stuff back into the pan on a LOW heat.  Add the mushrooms you've been chopping. Add a LITTLE more water.  More will appear in time.  Don't drown it.

step 10 - Sorry about the funny colour.  My phonecam doesn't like the kitchen lighting

 11 - Add what ever else you fancy. to make it Shroom and (insert the word of your choice)
12 - Cover and simmer for long enough for the new mushrooms (and what ever else) to soften nicely
13 - Remove from heat.
14 - Stir in your cream. Then stir in your cream cheese.
15 - Return to a VERY low heat (so you don't spoil your cream)
16 - Warm a bowl up (1 minute on its own in the microwave on full power,  per empty bowl)
17 - Ladle it out.

Ready to serve.  In the dark, preferably.  Looks awful tastes nice.

18 - Serves 2.  Get the other person to tidy up.
