For use when a recipe calls for condensed cream of mushroom soup.

1 (6 oz.) can or jar sliced mushrooms
1 Tbsp. canola oil
3 Tbsp. flour
1/3 C. skim milk*
1 Tbsp. nonfat "butter" granules
Black pepper to taste
1/8 tsp. garlic powder

Drain the liquid from the mushrooms into a measuring C. and add water, if needed to bring the total liquid to 1/2 C.. Set aside.

In a sm. saucepan, heat oil over med. heat. Add flour and bay leaf, stirring constantly for 1 min. Gradually add mushroom liquid, milk, butter granules and pepper, stirring constantly until mixture thickens, about 2-3 min. Remove from heat and discard bay leaf.

Pour into a blender or food processor, blend until smooth. Add mushrooms and garlic powder, blend until pureed.

* This is a low fat recipe. For a creamier version, I would not hesitate to use whole milk and 1 Tbsp. of real butter or butter replacement.
