Introduction
I tried to replicate the delicious mushroom gorgonzola soup from Kansas City Cafe. This was my attempt. I cooked it low and slow to give the flavors more time to develop. The crockpot step is optional, though and will reduce it quite a bit to only 2 servings (double the calories, yikes!) I tasted it mid-cooking, and it tasted great before that step.

Ingredients
-
1 Tbsp. of Butter, unsalted
1 Tbsp. of Olive Oil
1 package Green Giant Gourmet mix of mushrooms
1 large Shallot, diced
1 Tbsp. Garlic
1 oz of Port (optional)
1 tsp. of dried Thyme
1 Cup of Half & Half
2 Cups of Milk, 2%
1/2 Cup of Gorgonzola Crumbles
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
Serving Size: 3/4 Cup
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)
