I made this soup last night and took some pics along the way. I'll be making it again. It was very good.
My only real change was the mushrooms. I picked up some dried mushrooms from the town grocer consisting of shiitake, woodear and paddystraw. Dried is the only "fancy" mushrooms that they carry, so I used those (reconstituted) along with some crimini and was probably more around 18 oz of mushrooms rather than the 24 oz called for. It seemed to work well though, because until I got the stick blender out I was thinking it was going to be too thick. It was just the consistency I like after it was blended. The plus side to using some dried mushrooms is I saved the liquid for some risotto Also, I used some of the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet before adding everything to the liquid.
So here's the pics. A soup is born
