Instructions

Preheat Your Equipment: Place a large soup pot over medium heat.
Combine Ingredients: Melt butter and olive oil together, then add onions and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant.
Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add mushrooms, sauté until golden brown, and season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Dish: Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir well to coat. Slowly add broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Add soy sauce or Worcestershire for richer umami.
