First time making Mushroom Soup

~My Recipe~
Serving: 2 person

Ingredients:
~200g sliced fresh mushroom (preferably shitake mushroom/swiss brown mushroom)
~half white onion (sliced)
~potato(diced) *do not put too much or else you'll get mushroom paste instead of mushroom soup
~half tea spoon thyme *it's better to get fresh herbs, but those in bottles also do well
~50ml white wine
~30ml fresh milk
~50-80ml hot water (depends on how thick you want the soup to be)
~25g butter
~quarter tea spoon chicken stock
~half tea spoon crushed black pepper

Steps:
1. Heat a pot with medium fire. Melt butter in pot. Add sliced onions and herbs. Fry for around 3minutes.
2. Add potato. When potato looks like it's sort of cooked, add the mushrooms. Stir fry for 10 minutes.
3. Add wine and chicken stock. Simmer for 30minutes. Add hot water if needed. (Just in case it burns out...Oh and make sure to stir it continuously...)
4. Pour the simmered ingredients into a blender. Pour milk into the blender. Roughly blend the ingredients.
5. Pour blended ingredients back into pot. Add hot water. Heat the mixture until it boils(a bit).And also make sure to stir it continuously...Add pepper and stir thoroughly...*You may add half tea spoon of salt if you think the soup is not salty enough...
6. Pour the mixture into 2 bowls and...wuala~~ You've just made yourself(and maybe someone else) delicious and creamy mushroom soup~~ =>

This was my first time cooking mushroom soup and it turned out GOOD~~ (well...maybe a little bit thick but still, it tasted yummy~~)I'm so happy...heehee =p

hmm...wonder what I should do next? MINESTRONE soup? oo or maybe TOMATO soup?
