Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 3 tablespoons diced red onion
    • 8 ounces sliced Baby Bella mushrooms
    • 1 (6-ounce) bottle sliced mushrooms, including the liquid
    • 1 (32-ounce) box Creamy Portobello Mushroom Soup (Imagine brand)
    • 1 (0.6-ounce) package Knorr Swiss Au Jus mix
    • ½ cup dry sherry
    • 1/3 cup sliced scallion tops or snipped chives
    • Thinned sour cream for garnish, optional (see note)

Directions

Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add onions and fresh mushrooms and sauté, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, just a few minutes. Add sliced mushrooms, including the liquid, and contents of the soup package. Stir in Au Jus mix and sherry and bring to a simmer. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes, then add scallions or chives.

Pour the hot soup into soup bowls. If using the sour cream garnish, drop several teaspoons on top of each soup serving, then run the tip of a knife blade through each one to make a swirl.

If you make the soup in advance, you may need to thin it with a small amount of chicken broth as it tends to thicken over 24 hours.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Note: Thin ½ cup sour cream with 1 to 2 tablespoons nonfat milk.
