Grandpa Norm's Soup Recipe

I found this recipe card when going through old books. It's a soup recipe my Grandfather made after my Grandma passed away.  After he passed, I was given some of their pots and pans, which I still use to this day! The soup pot I used in the photo above is one of their pans.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced thin, separated into rings
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 10.5 oz can condensed chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 tsp chicken bullion (or Better than Bullion)
  • 1/4 c. sweet vermouth or dry sherry (I used dry sherry)
  • 8 oz can tomato paste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
DIRECTIONS
  1. In 2 quart saucepan, cook onion and garlic in hot oil and butter, about 5 minutes or until tender.
  2. Add mushrooms, cook covered another 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
  3. Stir in broth, water, vermouth (or sherry), chicken bullion, tomato paste and pepper.
  4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
  5. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

This is a recipe I found in 2011 from Real Simple and thought sounded fantastic. I finally got around to making it and it was incredibly easy and tasted wonderful too.
