Hello Geno,
See below.
Phaed
Mushroom and Scallion Soup (Creme Olga)
4 Tbsp. butter
12 scallions (Spring onions), green AND white parts, chopped
1-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock
8-ozs. mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh tarragon or chives for garnish (optional)
Heat the butter in a large pot over moderate heat and sauté the
scallions and garlic until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the stock and mushrooms and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
Simmer covered for 5 minutes.
Rub the soup through a fine strainer or purée in an electric blender
or food processor. Strain, return to the pot and add the cream, salt,
and pepper.
Reheat and serve garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
Serves 4 to 6.
I use to work at Kresges when I was a teenager. You said that you could
not find a recipe for their apple dumplings with vanilla sauce and I can
tell you why. First of all the apple dumplings came in already made and
frozen all we did was bake them. As for the vanilla sauce that went on
them, it was vanilla pudding from a can but with extra milk added to it.
This should solve the problem. Confession is I always liked this dessert
myself. I worked in the cafeteria of Kresges. Hope this helps you out.
