- Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a 3.5-quart dutch oven or heavy duty pot over medium heat. Add onion and turn to medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Do not brown the onion.

Steps:
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a dry paper towel. Don't wash them! Separate the stems, trim off any bad parts, and coarsely chop the stems. Slice the mushroom caps 1/4-inch thick and, if they are big, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- To make the stock, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot. Add the chopped mushroom stems, the onion, carrot, the sprig of thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add 6 cups water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid. You should have about 4 1/2 cups of stock. If not, add some water.
- Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat the remaining 1/4 pound of butter and add the leeks. Cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the leeks begin to brown. Add the sliced mushroom caps and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and stir for another minute, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add the mushroom stock, minced thyme leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the half-and-half, cream, and parsley, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and heat through but do not boil. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Peel the shrimp and place all the shells in a large kettle. Devein half the shrimp and split them in half lengthwise. (Reserve the rest of the shrimp for another use.) Set aside.
- Add the stock and wine to the kettle with the shells and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim any tough end portions from the oyster mushrooms and add the trimmings to the pot with the stock. Cut the oyster mushrooms into pieces if they are large. Trim the stems from the shiitakes and add them to the pot. Slice the caps.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the oyster mushrooms and the shiitake caps, season them to taste with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of sherry and cook until evaporated. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
- Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing hard on the shells to force out as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Return the stock to the kettle and add the rice and half of the mushrooms. Working in batches, puree the rice and mushroom soup in a blender until it is very smooth. Return it to the kettle and stir in 1 tablespoon of the sherry. Set aside.
- When ready to serve, heat a large skillet over high heat and add the oil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sherry and cook until evaporated.
- Reheat the soup and season it with salt and pepper to taste. Divide among 6 serving bowls and garnish each with reserved mushrooms, shrimp and chervil. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in butter with 1 pinch salt until the mushrooms give off their juices; reduce heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring often, until juices evaporate and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside a few attractive mushroom slices for garnish later, if desired. Mix onion into mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 more minutes.
- Stir flour into mushroom mixture and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Tie thyme sprigs into a small bundle with kitchen twine and add to mushroom mixture; add garlic cloves. Pour chicken stock and water into mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove thyme bundle.
- Transfer soup to a blender in small batches and puree on high speed until smooth and thick.
- Return soup to pot and stir in cream. Season with salt and black pepper and serve in bowls, garnished with reserved mushroom slices and a few thyme leaves.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the soup will taste. If you can, use wild mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When sautéing the mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan or they will steam instead of brown. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Use a good quality white wine. The white wine adds a lot of flavor to the soup, so use a good quality one that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't boil the soup. Bring the soup to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as desired.
- Serve the soup with your favorite garnishes. Some popular garnishes for cream of mushroom soup include croutons, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
Cream of mushroom soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious cream of mushroom soup that your family and friends will love.
