• 1 cup flour, divided
• 12 cups beef stock
• 6 tablespoons olive oil

• 4 cups button mushrooms, sliced if large

Procedure

1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt one stick of the butter.

4. Slowly stir in the beef stock.
5. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
6. Reduce heat to a simmer.
7. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the remaining stick of butter with the olive oil.
8. Add the portobellos, shiitakes and button mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms are moist and tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
9. Remove pan from heat and dust mushrooms with the remaining ½ cup of flour, stirring gently to incorporate flour.

11. Stir in the sherry.
12. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors are melded and soup thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
