1 Crockpot
1 Large Sauté Pan
- 2 sticks Unsalted butter
- 7 Medium Peeled and diced carrots
- 1 Stalk Diced celery
- 1 Medium Diced onion
- 4 8oz Container Diced mushrooms I like to mix up the variety using portabella and shitake mushrooms. White button mushrooms work well too!

Melt 2 sticks of butter in a large sauté pan. Add chopped carrots, celery and onion. Sauté on low for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are translucent.
Add the diced mushrooms to the pan, sauté for 10 minutes, then stir in the flour. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
In your crockpot stir together the cream, sour cream, lemon juice, paprika, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef base and chicken base.
Add the mushroom mixture to the cream mixture in the crockpot and warm the soup on low to serving temperature. Approximately 1 hour.
