    Combine boiling water and porcini in a bowl. Cover and let stand 30 minutes or until tender. Heat oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion; saute 5 minutes.

Add porcini mixture, 4 c. water, broth, and bread; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 30 minutes. Stir in pepper; let stand 5 minutes. Place one-fourth of mushroom mixture into a food processor or blender; process until smooth. (Heed your blender! Mine advises only 1 c. hot liquid at a time--it's written right into the glass.) Pour soup into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining mushroom mixture. combine half and half and sour cream. Ladle about 2 cups soup into each of 7 bowls. Top each serving with about 1 T. sour cream mixture and 1 tsp. parsley. Yield: 7 servings.
