Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup mushrooms
72g
1/2 cup white wine
120g
2 cups chicken gravy
400g
1 cup light sour cream
230g
3 slices prosciutto
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the Swiss brown mushrooms.
- Roughly chop the prosciutto slices.
2. Heat the Oil and Butter:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and starts to sizzle.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
- Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and starts to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
4. Cook the Mushrooms:
- Add the sliced Swiss brown mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and released their juices, about 5-8 minutes.
5. Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Add Chicken Gravy:
- Stir in 2 cups of chicken gravy and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Incorporate Sour Cream:
- Gradually stir in 1 cup of light sour cream until the soup is well combined and creamy. Be sure to do this over low heat to prevent the sour cream from curdling.
8. Add Prosciutto:
- Stir in the roughly chopped prosciutto slices and let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
9. Season and Serve:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional prosciutto or fresh herbs if desired.
10. Enjoy:
- Serve hot, accompanied by crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

- Choose fresh Swiss brown mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.

- Finely chop the onion and garlic to ensure they blend well into the soup.

- Use a good quality white wine for cooking; it will enhance the flavors of the soup.

- If you don't have chicken gravy, you can substitute it with chicken broth or stock.

- Light sour cream can be substituted with regular sour cream for a richer taste.

- For a smoother soup, blend the soup mixture before adding the prosciutto.

- Crisp up the prosciutto slices in a pan and use them as a garnish for added texture and visual appeal.

Enjoy your Swiss brown mushroom soup with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad to complete the meal. This soup offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it a favorite for mushroom lovers. Don't forget to garnish with prosciutto for that extra touch of taste and elegance.
