Broth of Wild Mushrooms
Soak in warm water, for 1/2 cup mushrooms, soak in 2 cups water, for 30-60 minutes. Remove from water, but keep the water!, remove tough stems and slich the mushrooms.
Mince a couple shallots, saute gently in 1/3 cup dry sherry, until transluscent and fragrant, add the sliced mushrooms, sautee for a couple minutes. Add a pinch of thyme.
Strain the soaking liquid to remove any grit, and add liquid to the shallots and mushrooms. If you eat dairy, add 1/2 cup or so of heavy cream, slowly, do not boil. Season with salt and white pepper to taste, (be careful, white pepper is hotter than black).
If you don't eat diary, disolve 1/2 cup soy milk powder in 1 cup water, add to soup.
Thicken as desired. (1 tablespoon cornstarch disolved in 1/4 cup water.)
