Dried mushrooms and fresh veggies are simmered in a thyme and sherry flavored stock to create an easy and delicious soup fancy enough for company. NOTE: Sherry can be substituted as instructed here on Zaar or by using an equal amount of apple or orange juice to which a teaspoon of vanilla, orange or almond extract has been added.

This soup is absolutely wonderful. made as directed, except didn't carmelize anything, added 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, just cause I had them, and added a little half and half at the end. The will be a repeat, especially in cold Montana.

    Yummy soup, though word of warning--I have no idea how one could caramelize onions in 15 minutes, on low heat. It took me over an hour on low heat, with finely diced onion! I referenced a bunch of other sites, and it either takes several times longer than 15 min, or increasing heat to medium. The recipe author did not accept an edit.

    Great soup for a winter's night - I made this for ZWT3 and the family did enjoy it - I stuck to the recipe but it is very versatile and a whole range of vegies could be substituted - next time I will add more mushies to give it a stronger flavour and more thyme - and then the children probably won't eat it !! I am a mad soup lover and this will definitely be added to my repertoire so thanks to mama's kitchen.
