Fall brings on some of the best foods and mushrooms top my list! These wild mushrooms make a rich and nutty flavored soup.
- 4-5 cups of raw mushrooms
- 2 Tablespoon of butter
- 3 cloves of garlic crushed
- 2 cup garlic infused chicken broth or plain if you don’t like garlic
- 1 ½ cups whipping cream or half and half
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 4-5 saffron threads optional
- 1/4 cup cream sherry
-
Clean and slice the mushrooms. Cook in the butter until soft. Add the garlic and cook until the mushrooms are lightly browned. There should be about 2 ½ cups cooked mushrooms.
-
Save out ½ cup of the mushrooms and chop them small. Place the remaining mushrooms and the broth in a blender and puree until smooth.
-
Place in a large sauce pan with the remaining ingredients and heat through.
-
Serve hot. You can add an additional Tablespoon of sherry to each bowl when serving if you’d like.

Makes about 4 cups
