Steps:
- Place dried porcini mushrooms in a small bowl and add sherry. Soak for at least 30 minutes, no more than an hour. Stir to make sure the sherry incorporates with all the dried mushrooms.
- After re-hydrated, strain the liquid from the mushrooms, and keep the strained liquid. Dice up the re-hydrated mushrooms prior to putting into the soup.
- In a 3 quart soup pot over medium heat add olive oil and white onions. Saute for 8 - 10 minutes or until soft. Next add cremini mushrooms and continue to stir for another 15 - 18 minutes or until they start browning. Add butter and garlic and stir until the butter is melted.
- Add flour and continue to stir for another 3 minutes to make the roux. Add stock, sherry, thyme, rehydrated mushrooms, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Simmer the soup for 20 minutes, it will slightly thicken.
- In a separate medium sized bowl add the crème fraîche and place one cup of the hot soup mix in the bowl and stir. This will temper the cream and keep it from curdling. Place the entire mix back into the soup and stir, bringing back to a simmer for another 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste as needed.
- Serve with your favorite crusty bread.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan combine the sherry, 1/2 cup of beef stock and the dried porcini. Bring to boil, remove from the heat and let stand for 30 minutes. Dice the leeks and onion. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and onion and cook over low heat until soft, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour, stir and cook an additional 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, the porcini with the soaking liquid, and salt and pepper, and continue to cook over low heat, for 7 minutes. Sprinkle in the paprika, and stir. Add the remainder of the beef stock, lower the heat to a low simmer, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Purée half of the soup in batches, in a blender or food processor. Return the mixture to the pot and gently reheat, over low heat. Stir in the cream and re-season with salt and pepper as desired. Garnish with chopped parsley, chives and a garnish of cream.

WILD MUSHROOM SOUP
This recipe combines "Wild mushroom soup with sherry and thyme" from Fine Cooking Cook Fresh magazine, Fall 2013, and "Wild mushroom soup" from Forgotten Skills of Cooking, by Darina Allen, Kyle Books, 2009. The first one has sherry, which I didn't want to use, and the second uses milk for half the liquid, which I also wanted to avoid. The recipe is vegetarian, and can easily be made vegan by substituting the butter and not using the cream garnish.

Steps:
- Clean all the mushrooms before chopping (wipe with damp paper towel, or remove dirt with small mushroom brush).
- Melt butter and olive oil in soup pot on medium heat.
- Add shallot, cook until beginning to caramelize, stirring infrequently.
- Add mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released their liquid and liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Add broth and any soaking liquid, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until mushrooms are tender. Adjust seasoning.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly. Puree soup with stand blender (in batches) or immersion blender until smooth. (Add more liquid if you want it thinner: broth or water would do.).
- Serve.
- NOTES * I used a combination of fresh mushrooms including cremini, chanterelle, hen of the woods (maitake), and beech (bunashimeji). For depth of flavor, I added some some dried shiitake mushrooms. Soak dried mushrooms in 1-2 cups hot water for 30-60 minutes before use; add the liquid with the broth (discard sediment; if using shiitakes, discard stems too, they are tough). * Instead of separating the thyme leaves, you can just tie a bunch of sprigs together and fish the bundle out before pureeing. * The original recipes suggested leaving it half-pureed and "rustic" but I found it grainy so I pureed it completely. * This soup can be made ahead. Reserve 1-2 cups broth and add it while reheating on medium-low. * This is what I did for garnish per serving. When the butter and olive oil were hot, I cooked some pretty slices of cremini and reserved them. On each serving I drizzled about 1 tsp cream, eyedroppered very few drops of truffle oil, sprinkled a couple of thyme leaves, and floated a reserved mushroom slice.

Steps:
- Melt 6 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, shallots, onion and garlic and sauté until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add all mushrooms and sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add white wine and Sherry. Boil until liquid is reduced to glaze, about 6 minutes.
- Mix remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup flour in small bowl until smooth paste forms. Add flour paste to mushroom mixture in pot; stir until mixture melts and coats vegetables. Gradually mix in stock. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mushrooms are tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Working in batches, puree soup in blender or processor until smooth. Return soup to pot. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium-low heat before serving.) Ladle soup into bowls and serve.
