Mushroom Soup Substitute

I found this in a newsletter I subscribe to~ WorldWide Recipes. Canned Mushroom Soup Substitute

2 Tbs (30 ml) butter or olive oil
1/3 cup (80 ml) sliced mushrooms
3 Tbs (45 ml) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 ml) milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
A grating of fresh nutmeg

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the flour and stir until the mixture had formed a paste and the flour and the butter are thoroughly incorporated. Add the milk and stir with a whisk or spoon until the paste is completely dissolved. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring frequently. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Makes about 1 1/2 cups (375 ml).
I am not a mushroom lover so I don't often have mushrooms on hand. But I bet I could find some dried or mushroom powderand that could be used instead of the sliced mushrooms!
