1 oz dry mushrooms (porcini, morels, or shitakes) [I used a combination of porcini and shitakes]


1/2 cup olive oil


2 sprigs of rosemary


4 sprigs of sage


1 large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced


3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced


1 1/2 tsps salt


1/4 tsp freshly ground white pepper [I used black pepper and it was fine]


1 lb white button mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced [I think the thin slicing is what makes this recipe so effective: the more thin slices, the more surface area gets exposed to heat and therefore the more mushroom flavor.]


1 lb shitake mushrooms stemmed, cleaned and thinly sliced


6 cups Chicken Stock or water [So you can make this soup vegetarian!]


1 cup heavy cream [Mmmm, cream.]


2 Tbs unsalted butter [Oooh, butter.]





So here's basically all the prep work I needed to do before starting:
