Add the butter and extra virgin olive oil to a large skillet on the stove at medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, add the shallot. Add a little salt, and let the shallot cook for 1 minute. Then add the mushrooms and thyme. Let them cook for 1 minute. Then add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
Next add the Port to deglaze the pan. Let that simmer for 1 minute. Add the half & half. Reduce the heat to medium. Let that simmer for 2 minutes. Add the gorgonzola crumbles. Stir gently to melt the cheese into the sauce. Start adding the milk about a 1/4 cup at a time, letting the soup reduce and thicken up.
Once all the milk is added transfer the soup to a slow cooker to continue cooking on low for 1 hour. This step will change the caloric content, and create a thicker, richer soup. (optional)
