Ingredients
1 White Onion1 lb. Button Mushrooms1 stick Unsalted Butter2 Tbsp. Minced Garlic2 sprigs Fresh Thyme1 1/2 cup White Wine6 cups Chicken Stock1 quart Heavy Cream2 Tbsp. Truffle Oil2 tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Use a food processor to puree the onion.
To prepare mushrooms, first remove stems from caps. Set stems aside (I usually just throw them in the food processor bowl after I dump the onion). Peel caps. Slice caps as thin as possible. Puree stems.
In a sauce pot, sautee onions and garlic in butter until golden brown. Then add thyme and mushrooms (stems and caps). Cook for four minutes, then add wine. Cook off alcohol, then add chicken stock, truffle oil and pepper. Bring soup to a simmer and add heavy cream. Bring back to a simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes. Remember to remove thyme stems before serving.
And, of course, get some bread with a good crust to go with.
(Note: Since it's unlikely you'll be serving 16 (or possibly 8 as a full meal), halving the recipe is easy. However, I recommend keeping the mushroom and onion quantity the same -- just halve everything else.)
