How to Make Bella Wild Mushroom Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 pound of Bella mushrooms, sliced, and 1/2 cup of chopped yellow onion. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and onions. Whisk continuously for 2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine, whisking constantly to combine.
  4. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of vegetable or chicken stock, 1/4 cup of dried mixed mushrooms (rehydrated in hot water for 15 minutes and finely chopped), and 1 teaspoon of chicken base or bouillon. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
