Instructions for Mushroom Soup Recipe
- Sprinkle the mushrooms with lemon juice. In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, coarsely chop the mushrooms.
- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, and lightly sauté the shallots. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and bay leaf and sauté for 10 minutes, or until the liquid disappears.
- Add cream and stock and bring to a boil. Quickly reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water and add to the soup. Continue to simmer 5 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
- Correct seasoning to taste.
Serve in warm bowls. Sprinkle with minced parsley.
I love dry sherry with mushroom soup, just a small measure of one of Emilio Lustau’s dry Oloroso’s or Dry Sack, lightly chilled.
