Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 lbs fresh mushrooms (see recommendations in post but most types work - I like a combo)
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano

  • ½ cup flour
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp beef bouillon or 3 cubes
  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup cream or half and half

Instructions
  1. Add butter and olive oil to a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Once butter is melted add onion and saute for 3 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and saute one more.
  4. Add mushrooms, thyme and oregano and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Pour in Marsala. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 more minutes.
