Chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, around 8 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, stirring well to coat evenly.
5. Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
7. Stir in the milk and shredded Gouda cheese, cooking until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through.
8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary for your preference.
9. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
