Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and saute, stirring every few minutes, until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the mushrooms, celery, carrot, garlic and salt, and saute, stirring occasionally, for a further 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, thyme (or herbes de provence) and bay leaf to saucepan. Reduce temperature to a slow boil and cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes longer, or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat. Discard bay leaf.
- (Carefully) blend soup in batches, either in blender, or using immersion blender, until soup is mostly pureed, leaving a bit of texture in the vegetables. Return to saucepan and over a low heat, whisk in half and half, ricotta and swiss cheeses, until cheeses have entirely melted into the soup. (If soup is too thick, thin with a little more hot broth). Season to suit your taste with salt and freshly-cracked black pepper.
- Serve in deep bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of minced, fresh parsley.

Steps:
- In large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and add onions.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir onions until they soften and begin to carmelize, this will take 20-30 minutes.
- Add garlic and 1/3 of the wine, continue stirring until wine is absorbed, this will deglaze the pan and onions will brown.

- Add sherry, stock, potato and fresh herbs.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until potato is tender.
- Remove from heat, carefully puree using hand blender.
