Mushroom-Onion Sauce

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp butter
1 (8 oz) package sliced fresh mushrooms
3 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/4 cup flour
1 (14 oz) can chicken broth
2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Directions:
Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add mushrooms, and sauté 10 minutes or until browned.  Remove from heat.  Melt 3 Tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add onion, and sauté 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned.  Whisk in flour.  Cook, whisking constantly, until lightly browned (about 1 minute).  Gradually whisk in broth and next 2 ingredients.  Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbly.  Stir in mushrooms, and cook, stirring constantly, until thoroughly heated.  Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired.  Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
