I named this blog Gourmet Country Girl because that title really does fit me. I love Gourmet food, fancy ingredients, and specialty grocery stores. I also love eating just a big bowl of soup beans, corn bread, and some chow chow. I love shopping in big cities and coming home to our country town. Thank goodness we can have a little of both! This soup is pure gourmet. Rich and creamy with so much flavor. Smoked Gouda is one of my gourmet ingredients because it can be a bit pricey, but so worth it. Nothing compares to it's smoky flavor. I adore it and use it in as many dishes as I can find. I rounded out this gourmet meal with a big stack of Oreo cookies. Gourmet and simple, perfect pair.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all- purpose flour
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 cartoon (32 oz.) chicken stock
1/2 cup cooking sherry or more chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 pound sliced mushrooms ( I used baby portabellas)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups shredded Smoked Gouda cheese
Directions:
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional 1 minute. Stir in the flour pepper, and nutmeg until smooth; gradually add the broth, sherry, and cream. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; and simmer for 5-6 minutes.
Add cheese; cook and stir until melted.

I made this a couple days ago, and it was great! Thanks for sharing. Next time I plan to use more mushrooms, but we're mushroom crazy.
