Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
½ onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 (13.75 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half cream
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese
1 tablespoon sherry
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook and stir until onions are soft and mushrooms reduce, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a pot, and melt over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour; cook and stir until mixture turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and rosemary; stir to blend ingredients. Reduce heat to medium. Stir the gorgonzola cheese and mushroom mixture into the chicken broth mixture; bring soup to a simmer and cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Place half of the soup into a blender. Blend until smooth, and return to the pot. Stir in the sherry, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, to serve.

This soup is so good! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. It's creamy, flavorful, and the gorgonzola adds a nice touch.

I tried this recipe last week and it was delicious! The soup was easy to make and it turned out great. I added a little bit of extra gorgonzola to mine and it was perfect.

This mushroom and gorgonzola soup is amazing! I made it last night and it was a hit with my family. The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the gorgonzola adds a nice tang. I will definitely be making this soup again.
