Mushroom Bisque

We, the adults of the family anyway, loved this soup. It's a lot like the Zupa's bisque, and it's super easy to make.

-----------------------------------------------------
5 cups chopped mushrooms
3 Tbsp butter
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3/4 cup cream
salt and pepper to taste
french fried onions for garnish.
-----------------------------------------------------

1. Saute mushrooms in 2 tbsp butter until soft, about 5 mins

2. Add onions and garlic and extra Tbsp of butter and let sauté a few minutes more

3. Add chicken broth and thyme and allow to simmer about 20 minutes.

4. Put 3/4 of the mixture in your blender and blend until smooth.

5. Add the blended soup back to your pot and add the cream and salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve with french fried onions sprinkled on top.
