Ingredients
- 8 tbsp. salted butter, divided
- 4 c portabella mushrooms, cleaned and diced
- 1 1/2 c green onions, diced
- 1/4 c all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp. chicken base
- 1 c whole milk
- 1 c half and half
- 2 c heavy cream

- Water, as desired
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a soup pot. Sauté the mushrooms and onions in the melted butter.
- In a separate pot, melt the remaining butter and add the flour, whisking constantly until a roux forms. Turn down the heat to low and stir occasionally.
- In a liquid measuring cup, mix the chicken base and milk with a whisk.
- Turn the heat back to medium and add the chicken-base mixture to the roux, stirring constantly until it thickens. The roux will be thick. Remove the pot from the heat.
