Austrian Mushroom Soup

Lorac's Note:

Fresh mushrooms cooked in homemade beef stock, enriched with sherry and garnished with chopped chives. An easy elegant first course dinner soup or lunch. No time to make stock? Use canned broth and add butter for an almost instant soup.

• Total Time: 17 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 7 mins

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, combine stock and mushrooms, bring to a boil.
2. Add butter if using canned broth and simmer 2 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in sherry.

Forgot to add stars, 5 for sure, for a fast, easy and classy soup made from stuff sitting in the fridge.

Quick and easy and very tasty too! Used vegetable bouillon cubes for the broth cause I had no time to make the stock from scratch. It turned out to be a very light and elegant first course. Thanks for posting, will surely make again and then with homemade stock.
