Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 3 cups Water
- 1 Tablespoon Chicken bouillon
- 1 Tablespoon Beef bouillon
- ½ cup Dry white wine
- 1 ½ cups Heavy cream
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 ½ cups White onion chopped (about 1 whole onion)
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 Tablespoons Butter softened
- 4 Tablespoons All purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh dill finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- ½ cup Sour cream
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice optional
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter. Add the onion and cook for 2 – 3 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms and garlic and continue to cook for 8 minutes or until the mushrooms have released their liquids. Add the wine and cook for 2 more minutes to cook off the alcohol.
- Add the water, bouillon, heavy cream, Worcestershire, dill, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes or until the soup mixture has reduced by ⅓.
- In a small dish using a fork, mix together softened butter and flour. Add the butter mixture to the soup. Bring to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the sour cream. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Serve with wild rice for a nice touch of flavor.
- I find it is best to wait until the soup has reduced some to add the salt and pepper.
- I added a touch of Worcestershire because I am a fan of the flavor.
- Adding a touch of brandy or a splash of hot sauce to the finished soup adds a nice bit of flavor but these are not necessary.
