Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a 6 to 8 quart stockpot over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until the shallots have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they begin to sweat and the moisture starts to evaporate.

Add the sherry, broth and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook 15 to 20 minutes. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Purée the mixture in batches with a blender until smooth.

Return the soup to the pot set over medium heat. Add evaporated milk and half-and-half. Return to a simmer, cook for a minute or two until hot.

Add salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
