Savory 4-Mushroom Soup
This savory soup gets the nod of approval from mushroom lovers and low-carb dieters alike. A flavorful and hearty lead-in for your Thanksgiving meal, this soup can also be a meal in itself. Leftovers lend themselves to lunch, but don’t expect to have this around long as it is that good.

Remove each batch of mushrooms from the pot and place in a bowl temporarily, until all of the mushrooms have been lightly fried in this manner. Add more oil and butter to the same pot that the mushrooms were cooked in. Lightly sauté the garlic, onion and herbs with olive oil and butter on medium-low heat. Add the chicken broth, water and sherry wine. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sautéed mushrooms to the pot of liquid.

You can either puree the soup in a blender until smooth, or puree half of the soup; however, leave some of the mushrooms whole for added texture. Now you are ready with delicious low-carb soups for Thanksgiving feast. And your guests won’t even notice it’s “low-carb!”
