Note

For a richer flavor, use a combination of different wild mushrooms such as chanterelles, shiitake, and cremini.

If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the wine with additional mushroom stock or a splash of apple cider vinegar for acidity.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of stock if the soup has thickened too much.

For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk at the end of cooking.

Serve with crusty bread, grilled cheese sandwiches, or a side salad for a complete meal.
