Ingredients
3 tbsp salted butter
1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
1.5 lbs cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 cups high-quality chicken stock
2 tbsp white grape juice
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they have released their liquid and browned nicely.
Stir in the dried thyme and dill, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white grape juice and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes to meld the flavors.
Stir in the heavy cream and heat through without letting it boil.
Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
For a smoother, restaurant-style texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the flavors continue to develop over time.
