Scallion and Mushroom Soup

ingredients

1 T butter (you can use olive oil to make this vegan)
1 bunch scallions, washed and sliced very thin
salt and pepper
1 c sliced mushrooms
3 c chicken (or vegetable) broth

directions

Melt the butter in a small soup pot. Add the scallions, salt and pepper, and then cover and turn heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms in a small saute pan with a tiny bit of olive oil until they start to brown. Add the broth to the scallions in the pot, and cook 10 more minutes. Take the soup off the heat, and strain into a large bowl. Puree the scallion pieces and half of the mushrooms, then add back to the pot with the broth and the rest of the mushrooms. Heat through, and serve.
