Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned on the edges and have released their water, 5 to 8 minutes. Return the onion and bell pepper to the pot. Stir in broth, soup, mayonnaise, Cheddar, fontina, hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon paprika and pepper.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
