Ingredients
16 oz. mushrooms, sliced1 TBS fresh lemon juice1 clove garlic, minced2 TBS butter1 TBS olive oil2 cups chicken broth1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp white or black pepper1/2 cup cream (I use heavy whipping cream)
1- Preheat oven to 300F.
2- If you did not buy the mushrooms pre-sliced, wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth; slice thin. Spread them onto a shallow oven proof baking dish in a double layer. Add the lemon juice, garlic, butter and oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 1 hour or until they are completely cooked and the juice is thick and dark.
3- Set aside a few mushrooms for garnish and put the rest in the blender jar. Add the broth and blend until smooth (or leave a little chunky if you like it that way).
( OR, go ahead and place mushrooms and broth in a heavy saucepan and use a hand blender to blend until desired smoothness. )
In a heavy saucepan, heat the soup for about 5 minutes; add the cream and cook and stir for an additional 5 minutes.
4- Keep a close eye on it and do not allow it to boil!
5- Pour into soup cups or bowls, garnish with reserved mushrooms and serve.
