Directions
Chop half the mushrooms; thinly slice the remaining mushrooms and set aside.
Melt butter in a 5 to 6 quart pan over medium-high heat; add chopped mushrooms, onion, and thyme.
Stir often until the vegetables are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
Mix flour with vegetables.
Pour into a blender or food processor; whirl, adding as much broth as needed to get the mixture smoothly pureed.
Pour mixture back into pan; add remaining broth, sliced mushrooms, bay leaf, and cream.
Bring soup to a boil on high heat, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat to low and simmer to blend flavours, about 10 Add sherry, salt, and pepper to taste. Make about 8 cups.
