Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the onion finely.
- Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil or butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, approximately 5 more minutes.
- Stir in the tablespoon of mustard, ensuring it is evenly distributed among the onions and mushrooms. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Pour in the 4 cups of chicken gravy.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can skip this step.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, a sprinkle of black pepper, or a drizzle of heavy cream for an added touch.
Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, consider sautéing the mushrooms and onions in a bit of butter or olive oil before adding them to the soup.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme for an added touch of freshness.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken gravy with vegetable broth.
- Add a splash of white wine during cooking to enhance the flavors.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg for a hint of warmth.
