I was thinking by the name it would be some kind of mushroom soup, but this sounds good. I think if I make it I will add some saute baby button mushrooms and see how it comes out.

Shitakes sound good, too; a little more flavorful than buttons.

Karl, I made your soup the other day for lunch with the following exceptions: I added about a dozen sliced baby bellas and deleted the pistachios. My DIL absolutely loved it. I thought it was pretty fine, too, but next time I will add the nuts as your recipe calls for.

Cheers.

I sauted them before I added to the soup. But I think leaving the nuts out was a mistake (I would have liked that little crunchy taste).

This soup sounds wonderful, Karl. I am going to have to make this ASAP! Never heard of adding pistachios to soup before, but why not? I love them! I will probably leave out the sherry, as I don't keep it on hand. I hope it won't make a difference. Great recipe!
