Recipe Introduction

Recipe has a bit of a tang -- is very rich but oooh so good.When I prepared it, I substituted half and half, and used minced oyster and shiitake mushrooms as part of my cooked mushroom mixture.

List of Ingredients

1 pound firm white mushrooms, cleaned
1 medium lemon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolve in 1 tbl. water
1 tablespoon minced parsley




Recipe

Sprinkle the mushrooms with lemon juice. In a food processor, coarsely chop them. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan and lightly saute the shallots. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and bay leaf and saute over moderate heat for 10 minutes, or until the liquid disappears. Add the salt, pepper, cream, and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the cornstarch to the soup and continue to simmer 10 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Correct seasoning to taste. Serve in warm bowls. Sprinkle with minced parsley.
