Ingredients

4 dried Guajillo chiles, stems and seeds removed
4 dried Ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
2 cups Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton), heated
1 clove garlic
1 medium white onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
7 cups Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (from two 32-oz cartons)
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 dried bay leaves
1 fresh parsley sprig
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced (8 cups)
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt, if desired

Directions

1

In medium bowl, soak chiles in 2 cups broth for about 20 minutes. (Do not drain.)
2

In blender, place chiles with broth, the garlic and 1/4 cup onion. Cover; blend on high speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Place strainer over 5-quart Dutch oven; pour mixture from blender into strainer. Discard solids. Add 7 cups broth, the oregano, thyme, bay leaves and parsley. Cook uncovered over medium-high heat 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors are blended.
3

Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1/4 cup onion and the mushrooms; cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until onion is crisp-tender. Stir in bouillon and salt; cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Remove bay leaves and parsley before serving.
