3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
4 cups of chicken stock/water and chicken bouillon
1 ½ -2 cups milk
1 tbsp salt to taste
Fresh dill or black pepper

In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter and sauté mushrooms over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. In a pot, melt 2 tbsp of butter and stir in flour. If the flour does not wet enough to be creamy, add some oil. Saute till flour turns to a light golden brown color.

Spinach Soup (Ispanak Corbasi)

Spinach Soup is a healthy and nutritious recipe from my mum.

350-400 gr spinach
1 small onion, chopped
3 Tbsp oil/butter
1 Tbsp flour, heaping
4-5 cups water/chicken stock
1 cup yogurt
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp salt to taste

In a pot, place onions and oil/butter. Saute them for 2-3 minutes and then add spinach. Saute over medium heat until the water in spinach evaporates. Then add flour and saute for a couple of minutes. Add water/chicken stock and salt. When it boils, simmer for about 10-15 minutes over low-medium heat. After that you can blend it with a blender for a smoother soup. I like the spinach pieces in the soup so I did not blend it.
Leave Spinach Soup to cool for 10-15 minutes. Then whisk the yogurt with egg and stir in slowly. If you stir in the mixture to hot soup, the texture of yogurt will spoil and this will affect the soup.
