Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the Swiss brown mushrooms.
- Roughly chop the prosciutto slices.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the roughly chopped prosciutto slices and let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- 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.
- 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.
