Wild & Creamy Mushroom Soup (Joey's Restaurant) image

This is the must-try mushroom soup that you can find at Joey's Restaurants up here in the Northwest. It's my all-time favorite mushroom soup, and I think that is because of the sherry that is added. When I saw a note in their menu that this recipe was featured in a magazine a couple of years ago, I had to find it. Enjoy!
