Wild mushroom soup is a savory starter that can be made up to a day in advance. Any combination of mushrooms will work well in this recipe. Reheat over medium heat. Serve with thin toasted baguette slices lightly brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt as a nice dipper for the soup.

Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon butter
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons finely chopped carrot

Cooking spray
1 cup thinly sliced button mushrooms
2 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps

1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation:
Heat butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery, shallots, and carrot; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Spoon vegetable mixture into a medium bowl.

Coat pan with cooking spray. Add button mushrooms; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add button mushrooms to vegetable mixture. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add shiitake mushrooms; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add shiitake mushrooms to vegetable mixture.
