Step 1
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the shallots until tender but not browned, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, mushrooms, and half the parsley. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in the bread, chicken stock or broth, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and nutmeg. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
