Red Wine Mushroom Sauce

Submitted by CJS42

"This is the easiest, fastest, yummiest, most versatile sauce I have ever tasted. You can put it on almost anything! I am putting it on here with the original chicken broth base, but just by changing the broth to a beef broth, it can be used on top of red meat dishes as well....and anything else you can think of. I'm putting it up on here because I keep misplacing it."
