    Step 4. Blend the Mushroom Soup

    Finally, add dry sherry and bring the soup to a simmer for 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!

      Just made this with white button mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. Did not add the alcohol. It had so much flavor! And so creamy. Really, really delicious. Mushrooms are great for the immune system and the microbiome, adding power to the body's health defense systems--so important, especially at this time of year. I'll be making this often. Thank you!

      So much mushroom flavor and not a drop of cream. It's a winner, and great for a friend that is vegan...yes I swapped out the butter for margarine and some olive oil. It's staying in my rotation.
