    Earthy wild mushroom soup with sautéed chanterelles and cream

    A creamy soup made from a medley of local wild mushrooms, simmered with herbs and a touch of cream.

    Forest floor in a bowl

    Chanterelles, morels, or creminis — whatever the woods give you — become an earthy, velvety soup with cream and thyme.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat and sauté the mushrooms in batches until golden; remove.
    2. Cook the onion in the same pot until soft; add the garlic and thyme and cook 1 minute.
    3. Add the sherry and scrape up the browned bits; return the mushrooms and add the broth.
    4. Simmer 20 minutes, then purée half the soup and return it for texture.
    5. Stir in the cream, salt, and pepper; simmer 5 minutes. Serve with chives.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Sauté the mushrooms in batches — crowding steams them instead of browning. Puréeing half gives body while keeping some texture.
