Lusciously meaty cream of mushroom soup with a touch of sherry -- a great starter to a wonderful dinner.

Fresh Mushroom Soup with Sherry

1 pound mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
2 cups water
2 cups NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Nonfat Dry Milk
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sherry

1. Coat a heavy skillet with vegetable cooking spray; add mushrooms and sauté quickly until just tender.
2. Combine water, powdered milk, onion flakes, parsley, flour and sherry in a blender or food processor; process until thick and foamy. Add mushrooms and blend again at lowest speed for 4 to 5 seconds or until mushrooms are chopped into fine pieces but not puréed.
3. Return mixture to saucepan and heat slowly, stirring with a wire whisk to keep from sticking. Heat thoroughly but do not boil. Serve with additional parsley.

Makes 4 servings.
