I’m in love with this new mushroom soup recipe! Its light but creamy and flavorful enough to be a perfect comfort soup for a rainy day. Here in Washington that’s pretty much 75 percent of the year. If you want to make this mushroom soup extra fancy with very little effort, place it in an oven safe soup bowl and spread a rolled out piece of puff pastry on top. Brush it with a little egg wash and bake for 15 minutes and wallah you have fancy soup to present to your guests. The combination of the baked puff pastry crust and creamy soup is out of this world!
How to make mushroom soup
1. In a heavy bottomed pot, melt butter and saute the diced shallots over medium heat until the shallots become translucent.
2. Add in the diced carrots and stir for about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
3. Turn the heat down to medium low and add the flour and cook for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour the dry sherry and keep stirring until the wine has evaporated. (About 3-4 minutes)
5. Add the chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 15 minutes over medium low heat. Lastly, add in the heavy whipping cream and cook for another 3 minutes.
6. If you want to make this soup a little fancier, you can cut a circular piece of thawed puff pastry and place it on top of an oven-safe soup bowl. Pinch the sides of the puff pastry around the soup bowl.
7. Combine the egg and water and brush the tops and sides of the puff pastry. Bake for 15 minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit.

I was just commenting to my husband that so many recipes call for mushroom soup, but I simply refuse to eat/serve the canned product. I’m looking forward to making this to eat AND use in recipes. Do you know if it freezes well?
