This quick creamy mushroom soup is loaded with earthy wild mushrooms enhanced by the flavor of dry sherry. To keep prep to a minimum, look for sliced wild mushrooms in packages, or slice your own using whatever combination you prefer.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 ounces sliced mixed wild mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster and shiitake
1/2 cup chopped shallots
2 teaspoons garlic paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup dry sherry
4 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

Directions

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic paste and thyme; cook, stirring often, until the shallots are translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add sherry; cook, stirring to release any browned bits, until mostly absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
