Drunken Mushroom Soup image

Mushrooms and vermouth - who knew they'd taste so good together? Very good, broth-based soup where the mushroom flavor really shines, since there's no cream or milk. It's also vegetarian but could be made vegan (substitute olive oil for butter and vegetable broth for chicken broth). We usually have this all year round, but like it especially to start a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Especially nice since you can make it in advance! Adapted from "Colorado Cache".

This is the best mushroom soup I've ever had. The drunken part is genius, and it really takes the soup to the next level.

I was a bit skeptical about using wine in a soup, but I was pleasantly surprised. The wine adds a subtle flavor that really enhances the soup.

This soup is amazing! The flavors are rich and complex, and the mushrooms are perfectly tender. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and always comes out delicious. I usually add a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and sometimes I'll use a different type of mushroom, like shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
