Ingredients
- 2 cups onion, chopped
- ½ cup carrot, sliced into half moons
- ½ cup celery, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups mushrooms, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- ¼ cup flour (use GF flour if you prefer)

Instructions
- In a large sauce pan over medium heat, saute the onion, carrots, celery and butter for 5 minutes or until soft.
- Increase the heat to medium high and add the mushrooms and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes stirring frequently.
- Sprinkle the flour, thyme and pepper over the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute stirring constantly.
- Deglaze with the sherry and then simmer until nearly evaporated.
- Stir in the broth, turkey/chicken and cream.
- Bring the soup to a low boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Lastly and in my opinion very importantly, season with the fresh chopped parsley.
