Frequently Asked Questions
What is the secret to browning mushrooms without them getting soggy?
Do not overcrowd the Dutch oven and let the mushrooms sit undisturbed in hot foaming butter for the first 4 minutes. Tossing too early releases water and boils the mushrooms rather than searing them.
Can I omit the white wine?
Yes. Deglaze the pot with 1/4 cup extra chicken bone broth plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar to provide the necessary acid balance.
Can I use leftover roasted chicken?
Yes. Skip searing raw chicken and simply fold 3 cups of shredded roasted chicken into the soup along with the heavy cream during the final 3 minutes.
