Take a pound of Chestnut mushrooms and slice them.
Take an onion and chop.
Peel a little garlic.
Take the above and fry gently for about 15 mins,or until the onion is softened. Add a pint of vegetable stock and some freshly chopped tarragon. (This adds a delicious aniseed taste) and simmer for 10 mins.
Liquidise the mixture and return to the saucepan and add a quarter to a half pint of cream and bring to the boil and stir for 3 mins. Serve.

Southern Mushroom Soup
INGREDIENTS
2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
4 slices white bread, toasted
1 tablespoon softened butter
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan, combine the mushrooms, onion and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes over low heat.
Stir together the melted butter and flour to make a paste. Stir the paste into the pan with the vegetables. Increase the heat to medium, and gradually stir in the milk. Continue stirring constantly.
When the mixture thickens and begins to boil, stir in the cream. Cook over low heat without boiling for about 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into bowls, and trim pieces of toast to fit the bowls. Butter the toast, and place on top of the soup. Sprinkle the cheese over the bread and serve.

1 oz dry mushrooms (porcini, morels, or shitakes) [I used a combination of porcini and shitakes]
1/2 cup olive oil
2 sprigs of rosemary
4 sprigs of sage
1 large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsps salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground white pepper [I used black pepper and it was fine]
1 lb white button mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced [I think the thin slicing is what makes this recipe so effective: the more thin slices, the more surface area gets exposed to heat and therefore the more mushroom flavor.]
1 lb shitake mushrooms stemmed, cleaned and thinly sliced
6 cups Chicken Stock or water [So you can make this soup vegetarian!]
1 cup heavy cream [Mmmm, cream.]
2 Tbs unsalted butter [Oooh, butter.]
So here's basically all the prep work I needed to do before starting:
