Ingredients

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 4 cups beef broth
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• 1 medium onion, diced
• ½ cup milk, or to taste
• 1 pound fresh morel mushrooms, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
• ½ cup moscato wine
• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook mushrooms in butter in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add a portion of the garlic at the end of each batch and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove mushroom mixture to a plate.

Step 2

Add onion to the pot. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushroom mixture, thyme, and parsley. Pour wine into the pot and cook while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir until well incorporated. Add broth, bouillon, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in cream and enough milk to reach desired thickness. Cook until heated through.
