    Saute shallots and mushrooms in butter. Don't let butter turn brown (medium heat). Cook until mushrooms begin to wilt. Stir in flour (makes a roux). Add chicken stock and sherry. Stir with wire whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil. Boil until thickened. Put 1/2 mixture into a blender. Puree. Ladle 1 ladle of soup into cream. Mix. Pour cream into mixture and heat through.

    This is so good. I wouldn't omit the sherry.
