• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 pound fresh morel mushrooms, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1/2 cup Moscato wine
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper, or more to taste
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup milk, or to taste

Directions

Step 1: Gather all the ingredients.

Step 2: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms in butter in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add a portion of the garlic at the end of each batch and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove the mushroom mixture to a plate.

Step 3: Add the diced onion to the pot. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add the mushroom mixture back to the pot along with the thyme and parsley. Pour the Moscato wine into the pot and cook while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes.

Step 5: Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir until well incorporated.

Step 6: Add the beef broth, chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Step 7: Stir in the heavy whipping cream and enough milk to reach the desired thickness. Cook until heated through.

Cook's Notes

• You can use any variety of mushrooms you like, or mix different types such as king oyster, beech, and morel mushrooms.
• For a deeper flavor, you can substitute beef bone broth for the beef broth.
• The soup will thicken as it cools. You may need to add milk when reheating to adjust the consistency.
• For a variation, consider adding wild rice or noodles for extra texture and flavor.
