Steps:
- Place dried porcini mushrooms in a small bowl and add sherry. Soak for at least 30 minutes, no more than an hour. Stir to make sure the sherry incorporates with all the dried mushrooms.
- After re-hydrated, strain the liquid from the mushrooms, and keep the strained liquid. Dice up the re-hydrated mushrooms prior to putting into the soup.
- In a 3 quart soup pot over medium heat add olive oil and white onions. Saute for 8 - 10 minutes or until soft. Next add cremini mushrooms and continue to stir for another 15 - 18 minutes or until they start browning. Add butter and garlic and stir until the butter is melted.
- Add flour and continue to stir for another 3 minutes to make the roux. Add stock, sherry, thyme, rehydrated mushrooms, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Simmer the soup for 20 minutes, it will slightly thicken.
- In a separate medium sized bowl add the crème fraîche and place one cup of the hot soup mix in the bowl and stir. This will temper the cream and keep it from curdling. Place the entire mix back into the soup and stir, bringing back to a simmer for another 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste as needed.
- Serve with your favorite crusty bread.

Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Add the Marsala if using and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the soup into 4 bowls. Dollop with the creme fraiche and sprinkle with the chives. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over top.

If you like, a drizzle of white truffle oil just before serving makes this soup especially fragrant and luxurious. For the mushrooms, try a mix of half chanterelles or cremini and half shiitakes.

Steps:
- Melt the butter and olive oil in a 5-qt. or larger stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it's beginning to brown (resist the urge to stir too often), about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, 2 Tbs. of the thyme, and 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper; cook until the mushrooms become limp, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Add the broth, scraping up any browned bits in the pot with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until the mushrooms are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer about half of the soup to a stand blender and process until smooth. Return the mixture to the pot and stir in the half-and-half, sherry, and soy sauce. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if needed, and reheat. Garnish each serving with a small pinch of the remaining 1 tsp. thyme.

WILD MUSHROOM SOUP
This recipe combines "Wild mushroom soup with sherry and thyme" from Fine Cooking Cook Fresh magazine, Fall 2013, and "Wild mushroom soup" from Forgotten Skills of Cooking, by Darina Allen, Kyle Books, 2009. The first one has sherry, which I didn't want to use, and the second uses milk for half the liquid, which I also wanted to avoid. The recipe is vegetarian, and can easily be made vegan by substituting the butter and not using the cream garnish.

Steps:
- Clean all the mushrooms before chopping (wipe with damp paper towel, or remove dirt with small mushroom brush).
- Melt butter and olive oil in soup pot on medium heat.
- Add shallot, cook until beginning to caramelize, stirring infrequently.
- Add mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released their liquid and liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Add broth and any soaking liquid, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until mushrooms are tender. Adjust seasoning.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly. Puree soup with stand blender (in batches) or immersion blender until smooth. (Add more liquid if you want it thinner: broth or water would do.).
- Serve.
- NOTES * I used a combination of fresh mushrooms including cremini, chanterelle, hen of the woods (maitake), and beech (bunashimeji). For depth of flavor, I added some some dried shiitake mushrooms. Soak dried mushrooms in 1-2 cups hot water for 30-60 minutes before use; add the liquid with the broth (discard sediment; if using shiitakes, discard stems too, they are tough). * Instead of separating the thyme leaves, you can just tie a bunch of sprigs together and fish the bundle out before pureeing. * The original recipes suggested leaving it half-pureed and "rustic" but I found it grainy so I pureed it completely. * This soup can be made ahead. Reserve 1-2 cups broth and add it while reheating on medium-low. * This is what I did for garnish per serving. When the butter and olive oil were hot, I cooked some pretty slices of cremini and reserved them. On each serving I drizzled about 1 tsp cream, eyedroppered very few drops of truffle oil, sprinkled a couple of thyme leaves, and floated a reserved mushroom slice.

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good choices include shiitake, oyster, cremini, and portobello mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to deepen their flavor and give them a slightly caramelized texture.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can also use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Don't overcook the soup. The mushrooms should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked mushrooms will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Season the soup to taste. This may include adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other spices.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Wild mushroom soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms, and it can also be made with a variety of other ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, and cheese. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, wild mushroom soup is a great choice.
