Then just follow these simple steps:

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pot over medium to high heat. After the butter melts, add one-third of the mushrooms to the pot. Cook, while stirring, until the mushrooms are a dark golden brown, around 5 minutes. Season them with salt and pepper, and remove from the pot, and set them aside.  
  2. Melt another 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pot, set the heat to medium, and add in the remaining mushrooms. Add in the minced garlic, sliced celery, thyme leaves, and diced onion. Cook, while stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the veggies with flour and stir. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Slowly add in the sherry while stirring, and then add the vegetable stock. Stir, simmer and cook until the soup thickens, about 20 minutes, but stir it every so often.
  4. With an immersion blender, puree the soup until the mushrooms become small bits. Add in the heavy cream and heat to a simmer. Add the balsamic vinegar, adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Serve the soup with a garnish of the sauteed mushrooms, parsley, and chunks of warm crusty bread.
