Mushroom Soup


  • 16 oz. cremini mushrooms (baby bellas)
  • 3.5 oz. shitaki mushrooms
  • garlic
  • onion
  • savory
  • thyme
  • black pepper
  • 1 qt chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • balsamic vinegar

Wash and slice mushrooms. Heat 1 Tbs. Olive oil in a large pan. When the oil is hot add the shitakis and 1/3 cup chopped onion, they take a little longer to cook, so I add them while I'm slicing the creminis. Saute mushrooms on high heat, add some salt to help draw out the moisture, this will help them get nice and golden brown. Then add the garlic, about 2 cloves, or more and the other herbs. Cook about another minute. Then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the cream and heat through. Just before serving add a dash of Balsamic vinegar. I thought of this after I tasted it and it was still missing something. It was the perfect touch.
