Ingredients
½ cup butter
2 lbs button mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
3 onions, peeled and chopped
A sprinkle or two of sea salt and freshly ground pepper
½ bottle of any hearty red wine (I used merlot)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
2 tbsp cornstarch
½ cup water

Instructions
1. Place a large stockpot over medium high heat. Add the butter, mushrooms and onions.
Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until liquid from mushrooms had evaporated and
mushrooms had turned lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
2. Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the wine has reduced by
about two-thirds, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream and fresh thyme. Stir well and bring the soup to a
simmer.
4. Meanwhile dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Add this mixture slowly to the simmering
soup, stirring until it returns to a simmer and thickens slightly. If you prefer your soup a bit
thicker, feel free to add more cornstarch. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately.
