Making Cream of Mushroom Soup

Julianna was kind enough to share her vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe. I'm not vegan, or even vegetarian, but I can enjoy a meatless meal with the best of 'em. Step 1: Visit fancy overpriced market where the selection of mushrooms is guaranteed to be varied. And expensive.
Step 2: Confirm that spices in unmarked containers are really what they say they are. Take my dried parsley (Please! Take my dried parsley!). I can't be sure what it was. It smelled like the freshly-cut lawn on a midwest summer's eve. Anyone who's ever survived Golden Rod pollen in the summer knows the smell of which I speak. Was this parsley i put in the soup? Had I bought marjoram ages ago and forgotten about it?
Step 3: Proceed with Julianna's directions, and hope for the best.
Step 4: Clean up.
Step 5: Plan on finding a home with a larger kitchen and a stove that's not from the 50s.

Loved it! Think a nice dry white wine would add to the overall flavour, though.

Sherry is what is recommended in one of my recipes... I realized that I had unconciously combined 2 different recipes when i was making this for all the years.. oops!
