Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 slices bacon, chopped
2 shallots, finely diced
4 -5 cups button mushrooms, quartered
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
4 tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken broth
splash marsala wine (optional)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or dutch oven pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the diced shallots to the bacon grease and cook for about 3 minutes, until tender. Add the mushrooms, rosemary and garlic to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and golden. Return the cooked bacon to the pan.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and bacon and stir to coat. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the pan. If desired, add a splash of marsala wine. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. It should begin to thicken as it simmers. Simmer for a few minutes, then reduce heat and add the half and half.
  • Remove about a cup of the soup with a bunch of the mushrooms When cool enough to safely handle, blend the cup of soup until smooth. Return the blended mixture to the pan with the rest of the soup.
  • OR just use a stick blender right in the pan to make a lovely smooth soup.
  • Season with the salt and pepper.
