    Sauce Supreme is basically a veloute sauce enriched with heavy cream. You'll start to notice that many of the classic French sauces are derivatives of one of the 5 Mother Sauces.

     

    How to Prepare a Delicious Sauce Supreme

    Some chefs take it a step further and enhance it with mushroom flavor. This can certainly be done by adding mushroom stock.

    But an easier and still highly flavorful alternative is soaking dried mushrooms in hot water and utilizing the water in the sauce, as in the recipe below.

      Often when I use dried mushrooms, I reconstitute them in cream if cream is called for in the sauce. The cream is so tasty. If using broth I use that for the same reason.
