creamy mushroom & sherry soup

Creamy mushroom & sherry soup is both rustic & decadent. Any recipe is elevated with the addition of cream making it something a little special…even the humblest of mushroom soups.

If you can locate any more exotic mushrooms than the Swiss brown mushrooms I used – go right ahead. My mushroom soup craving took me to a small store in the next town. I bought what was available, pleased the store sold brown mushrooms.

As the recipe title implies, this soup is flavored with sherry. If you’ve not cooked with sherry, you must. I keep a bottle in my pantry always. Sherry is a fortified wine & imparts a subtle smokiness, maybe even some would suggest, a nutty flavor to a recipe. I find the nuances of sherry more complex than wine with a lingering flavor. Sherry is magnificent in cream soups & sauces, gravy, stir-fries, risotto & desserts – if you opt for sweet sherry. For savory recipes I stick to dry or medium-dry sherry.

As I sit in my office writing this, I look out over our expanse of green lawn & fields, barren of any crops since being harvested weeks ago. The sun is sitting low in the sky but the sky is a gorgeous blue. It’s deceiving for it looks warm, apart from the yellowing leaves skipping past the windows. The temperature is sitting at freezing, below that if you count the windchill & snow is in the forecast. Step outside & it’s bone-chillingly cold. Could there be a more perfect night for a steaming bowl of creamy mushroom & sherry soup? I think not. As I head back into the kitchen to test a recipe for low carb garlic bread to accompany the soup. Along with a nice Californian red, of course. Have a wonderful evening all. Cheers, Lovoni xo

Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her voice every day offering support & advice. One of my favourites is this simple ‘start how you want to finish’ advice. It was told to her when she decided she’d take care of her mum, my nan, at home when she became very ill & needed around the clock care. 
As a new year lies before us & we can make it anything we want. So go forth how you want to continue. For me that’s with intent, small reasonable goals, simplifying home & life where possible & taking care of myself both my mental & physical health. 
Last year was a fucker, this year I’m taking care of me. We are nothing without our health. 
Happy 2023 to those who’ve stuck around with me, especially during my absence over the last 12 months, & to the newcomers who’ve joined the Fresh Hunger community. Thank you for your support. I’ve got some fun, helpful projects coming your way I can’t wait to share with you all. L xo
