How To Make homemade mushroom soup

  • 1

  • 2
    Add fresh mushrooms and continue the saute for just a few minutes. Do not overcook. 
  • 3
    Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat the onions and mushrooms in the pan, adding a little more butter or flour if necessary.
  • 4
    Stir in the beef stock, salt, pepper and a pinch of basil. 
  • 5
    Add the red wine and reduce heat and simmer, continuing to stir the soup occasionally until it thickens.
  • 6
    Cool and refrigerate for 24 hours for flavor to develop. Before serving, gently rewarm but don’t let boil. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with nutmeg. Savor every spoonful.
