Instructions:
- Wash and slice the mushrooms.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender.
- In a large slow cooker, pour in the chicken gravy.
- Add the sautéed onions and mushrooms to the gravy.
- Stir in the flour gradually, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add the light sour cream and milk to the slow cooker.
- Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Set your slow cooker to low heat.
- Cover and cook for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally if possible (to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking).
- Before serving, add the chopped fresh parsley and stir it into the soup.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms for added depth of flavor. Cremini, shiitake, and portobello work well together.
- For a thicker soup, increase the amount of flour slightly or use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Sauté the onions and mushrooms in the butter before adding them to the slow cooker to enhance their flavors.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency before adding the sour cream and milk.
- Season the soup gradually and taste as you go to ensure it's seasoned to your preference.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a drizzle of truffle oil for an extra touch of elegance.
