MSG-free Cream of Mushroom Soup

[marykatmp]

Does anyone have a homemade cream of mushroom soup they can recommend? I have a few recipes that we use this for, and hate feeding my family MSG. I always look for one without MSG at the store and cannot find a single one. If you know of one that is MSG-free let me know, I can try to see if I can get my hands on it. Thanks!

Here's my recipe. If you want the cream only instead of a full soup just add less of whatever type of milk you use.

Creamy Portobello Mushroom Soup

8-9 cups milk (soymilk, nutmilk, ricemilk, etc)
3 cups baby portobellos, diced
1 cup flour (barley is ideal, for wheat soft or hard white work best)
1/2 cup walnut or olive oil + 1 TB
2-3 tsp onion powder
2-3 tsp garlic powder
2 TB celtic sea salt (more or less to taste)
1/4 C nutritional yeast flakes

In small frying pan, sautee mushrooms in 1 TB oil, 1 tsp of salt. Set aside once tender.

In stock pot heat oil, add flour and sautee 1 minute using whisk. Slowly add milk stirring constantly. When half of milk is in, add spices and salt. Add remainder of milk. Combine mushrooms and simmer until desired texture, add nutritional yeast flakes and whisk well. salt as needed. Simmering stage can be done in crock pot for 1-2 hours on low until desired texture.
