- In the meantime in a frying pan, add the mushrooms and salt and sauté until they have released ALL their water. This could take another 15 to 20 minutes
- Save about 1 cup of the onion mix, mushroom and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for presentation when serving,
- Back in the stock pot, add the mushrooms on top of the onion mix, garlic, sage beef stock and chicken stock and bring to boil.
- Cook very slowly for 25 to 30 minutes. Add the wines and cream and adjust seasoning and texture with the cornstarch!

Oh my goodness! Hands down the best cream of mushroom soup ever!!! Had no port, so subbed out marsala. Worked just as well, and tasted superb. Thank you Chef for making cooking fun!!
This is by far the best soup I’ve ever eaten. The first time i made it I froze the leftovers but it was so good it only lasted a week in the freezer before we ate the rest. I’ll be making it again but tripling it so I can share with some other mushroom lovers I know. I also used Chef Jean-Pierre Porcini mushroom salt and a little of his 18 year Balsamic in place of the port wine because I didn’t have the wine. I left out the cream so it could be frozen if need be and just put it in in small amounts when we reheated it. It was delicious! My picky husband even likes it. It is also really good without the cream if you want to save a few calories. Definitely saving this recipe!
this is the best mushroom soup i have had, I am on my 3rd time making it
