• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/8 tsp. dried thyme
• 3 Tbsp. butter
• 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 cup half and half
• 1 Tbsp. sherry

Directions:

Using a large heavy saucepan, cook mushrooms, broth, onion, and thyme until tender. Approximately about 10-15 minutes.

Using a blender or food processor, puree the broth and mushroom mixture, leaving some chunks of mushroom in it. Set aside.

Using the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium/high heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Add salt, pepper, half and half, and mushroom puree. Stirring constantly, bring soup to a boil and cook until thickened. Season to taste and add sherry. Enjoy.

Note: You can experiment with a variety of mushrooms when making this soup.
