This creamy flavor filled soup is nothing like that stuff in the can.
- In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the garlic and onions and saute for about 3-5 minutes until soft. Take care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the mushrooms, salt, pepper and lemon juice and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are soft and have released their liquid. About 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the flour a little at a time, stirring to prevent lumps.
- Add the stock, cream and sherry and stir well to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and coo for another 5-7 minutes or until thickened.
- Add the fresh thyme.
- Serve warm with crusty bread and a salad.
