Sandys Gourmet Mushroom Soup

This was given to me by one of my husbands gym buddies, I did make it and it was indeed very good, although I'm not a great lover of mushrooms. I don't know if it was her own recipe or if she found it somewhere, but here it is, I thought it was worth sharing! She specified brown mushrooms, I used button mushrooms.

Soooo glad I made this delicious mushroom soup and it is definitely gourmet in flavor. : ) Followed directions as written and added the cream -- just didn't whip it. Used my immersion blender to blend the first half of the mushrooms and it worked perfectly. This will be a regular at my house from now on. So easy to make and soooo much flavor. : )Reply

Wow, what a great recipe Karen. My dh was over the moon. Mushroom soup is his favorite and he loved this one. He didn't even notice the subtle sherry flavor, which was a great. I enjoyed the flavor that the rosemary, nutmeg and sherry brought to the soup, they blended beautifully with the mushrooms and onions. A lovely hearty soup, that I highly recommend. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. Made for Beverage Anyone? Tag Game 2015.Reply
