  • Portions: 6 bowls
  • Exertion: A breeze
  • Duration: 1 hour in total, with only 5 minutes of active time

Ingredients (11)

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
  • 4 thyme sprigs, leaves stripped
  • 2 pounds white mushrooms, sliced (approx. 12 cups)
  • 4 cups mushroom broth or water
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 10 to 15 baguette slices (thin)
  • 3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (around 2/3 cup)

Procedure

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. As soon as the bubbling subsides, pop in the chopped onion and season it with a pinch of salt. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the onion softens and turns translucent – around 5 minutes.
  2. Toss in the sherry and cook until the alcohol scent fades away, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sliced garlic, thyme leaves, and sliced mushrooms, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms shrink substantially and are drenched in liquid – about 20 minutes.
  3. Pour in the mushroom broth or water and cook until all the flavors meld beautifully, around 30 minutes.
  4. Blend the soup in a blender until smooth. Divide into batches if necessary since not all blenders can accommodate larger amounts. Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat.
  5. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Broil the broiler, layer blue cheese on top of each baguette slice, and position them on a baking sheet. Broil until the cheese becomes bubbly and the bread crisps slightly – around 1 to 2 minutes. Place 2 to 3 toasts in each bowl and serve the soup. Enjoy!
