• Stir in the half-and-half, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Heat through, but do not boil.

CREAMY SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• In a heated saucepan, add oil and onion. Saute until opaque. Add mushrooms and saute about one minute longer, stir some.
• Add broth, soy sauce, ginger, and Chinese five spice powder. Bring to a boil for one minute. Then reduce temperature to low heat.
• In a small bowl add 1/4 cup of soup and stir until it has lowered its temperature. Then add the half-and-half and stir.(Add as much as you want. I just limited it to keep the calorie count lower.) Then return the mixture to the rest of the soup and stir. If you've done this right, your half-and-half will not clump.
• Cook on low for one minute more and then serve with freshly cracked pepper on top.
