3 tb Butter (more if needed) 2 c Mushrooms, sliced 1/2 c Burgundy wine, hearty -(or less) 2 tb Flour 2 c Half-and-half (or less) Salt, to taste Pepper, to taste
Saute mushrooms in butter until brown. Add wine when mushrooms start
making their own juice; cook over medium heat until all liquid evaporates
and clear oil from butter is in pan, about 10 minutes.
Add flour and cook on high about 5 minutes; stir and blend, cook till
nut-brown. (Like a medium brown roux, except for mushrooms and is
wine-colored.) Can add more butter as necessary to make a smooth “sauce”
texture. Stir constantly.
Stir in half-and-half (can substitute milk) until you have the thickness or
amount of soup you want; stir to creamy consistency. Salt and pepper to
taste. Makes about 1 1/2 to 2 cups soup.
