Instructions
I didn't feel like standing there chopping the mushrooms by hand, so I put them in the food processor and processed them until they were minced.
Whichever you decide to do, the mushrooms should be in very small pieces.
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan. Add the shallots in oil, and cook until the shallots have become translucent.
Add the mushrooms, and cook them down until they have softened.
Add the sherry, and let it cook down until the mushrooms have released some of their juices.
Add the vegetable base and mix it in with the mushrooms
Drizzle the flour over the mushroom mixture, and mix it in well.
Add the milk, and stir until the mixture thickens.
Continue to cook on very low heat for about 20 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add a little more milk.
Put the soup into a nice tureen. We had grilled cheese sandwiches with our soup.
Notes
You don't have to go out and buy sherry, just use cooking sherry.
