Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
3 large portabella mushrooms, dark gills scraped out, mushrooms chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:
