Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 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 cups 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.
