Here is how you make Fresh Mushroom Soup:

Slice mushrooms and set aside. Dice onions, carrots and celery.In a soup pot, drizzle olive oil and begin to heat. Place butter on olive oil, as the oil helps prevent the butter from scorching or browning. Add onions, carrots and celery. Saute until vegetables just start to soften on the outside.Add broth and bring to a boil. Cook vegetables until tender, approximately 15 minutes. (Dice veggies smaller for a shorter cooking time.) Pull out veggies with a small amount of broth and blend until smooth, or leave them in for a chunkier texture. Mix veggie puree back into broth, add mushrooms. Return to boil and cook until mushrooms are soft. Add juice and sherry to soup. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crusty bread, a nice goat cheese and fresh fruit for dessert.For variations, leaving out sherry and adding red wine is a tasty alternative. Adding garlic with the broth is also a tasty choice.Makes 8 1 1/2 c servings.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TINKERSPELL.
