    List of Ingredients




    POINTS value of 3
    Servings | 4


    1 serving olive oil cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)
    16 oz cremini mushrooms, or button mushrooms, sliced
    1/2 cup leek(s), chopped
    1 tsp thyme, fresh
    2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    2 Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine
    2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    12 oz fat-free evaporated milk

    Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and leeks and sauté, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender and releasing juice, about 3 minutes; add thyme and stir to coat vegetables. Add broth and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes.


    Working in batches, transfer mixture to a blender and puree until almost smooth, leaving some mushrooms in larger pieces; set aside. Or puree in pot with an immersion blender; set aside.


    Melt margarine in the same saucepan over medium heat; add flour, salt and pepper and whisk until smooth and thick, about 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add milk and bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent clumping. Return mushroom mixture to pan, stir to blend and simmer 1 minute to heat through. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
