Servings: 4 persons

1 tablespoon butter
4 shallots, minced
1 garlic clove, smashed and chopped
6 cups minced cremini mushrooms
1 1/4 cups vegetable stock
1 1/4 cups 2% low-fat milk
1 -2 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 sprig fresh tarragon, to garnish
parmesan cheese (optional)

1
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
Add the mushrooms and cook gently for 4 minutes, stirring.
3
Add the stock and milk and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft.
4
Stir in the chopped tarragon, salt and black pepper. Season to taste.
5
Leave the soup to cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. I usually only puree half of the soup, to retain some of the texture.
6
Return to the saucepan and reheat slowly on medium low heat.
7
Stir in sherry.
8
Ladle the soup into warm soup bowls. Very lightly sprinkle with Parmesan if desired and serve garnished with springs of tarragon.
