How To Make homemade mushroom soup

Step 1

Saute onion in butter until translucent — but not brown — over medium heat in a medium-large saucepan.

Step 2

Add fresh mushrooms and continue the saute for just a few minutes. Do not overcook.
Step 3

Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat the onions and mushrooms in the pan, adding a little more butter or flour if necessary.
Step 4

Stir in the beef stock, salt, pepper and a pinch of basil.
Step 5

Add the red wine and reduce heat and simmer, continuing to stir the soup occasionally until it thickens.
Step 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.
