1
Heat 3 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot over high heat.

Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
4
Heat 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
10

11
Cook stock over medium heat until thickened slightly and then stir in the sauteed wild mushrooms and cook for 15 minutes.
12
Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
13
While the soup is cooking, heat the canola oil in a high sided saute pan over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
14
Carefully add the ham, in batches, and cook until crispy, about 45 seconds to 1 minute.

Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
