Recipe: Mushroom Onion Soup

MUSHROOM ONION SOUP
From: Pat

As an avid fan of both Mushrooms and French Onion Soup, I clipped this from the Philadelphia Inquirer when I was in my twenties. I generally serve it as a first course before one of our big holiday dinners and everyone raves about the flavor.

1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sliced onions
12 ounces fresh mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
4 cups beef broth
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoon dry white wine
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Grated parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

In pot, melt butter. Add onions; saute until soft, about 15 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute lightly.

Stir in broth, water, wine, Worcestershire sauce and pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese if desired.
