Slice rather than chop the mushrooms for a meaty texture and a handsome look.
Heat in a soup pot, over high heat, until the butter is melted:
3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or additional olive oil
Add:
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms (preferably at least half wild mushrooms), wiped clean and tough stems removed, sliced
1/2 cup chopped shallots
Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add:
3 tablespoons dry sherry or Madeira
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan, for 5 minutes. Stir in:
4 1/2 cups Brown Chicken Stock or any vegetable stock
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
Simmer briefly, taste, and adjust the seasonings. Ladle into warmed bowls. Garnish with:
Chopped fresh parsley or fresh thyme leaves
