Ingredients

5 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 ½ cups chicken broth
½ cup chopped onion
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon sherry

Directions

Simmer mushrooms, broth, onion, and thyme in a large heavy saucepan until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Carefully transfer the hot mixture to a blender or food processor. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse until creamy but still with some chunks of vegetable.
Melt butter in the same saucepan. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in half-and-half and mushroom mixture.
Bring soup to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Stir in sherry. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
