Mushroom Bisque

After playing Minecraft for so long, your health bar will go down.  One of the only food items available in the game is mushroom soup.  I've been talking a lot about mushroom soup with D. Au Bon Pain delivers a mushroom soup to CSU, and is one of the few items that is available at the coffee carts.  So, D has been in the mood for mushroom bisque lately.  I think I did a fairly good got duplicating the recipe.

1 lb crimini mushrooms     1/2 lb Shitake mushrooms
4 Tbs. butter                          pepper
water                                        beef stock/bullion (Who has consomme laying around??)
2 medium carrots                  a leek
garlic                                         onion powder
fresh herbs                              a splash of heavy cream/half and half helps carry the flavor, you don't need much

Saute half the mushrooms in your skillet. In your saucepan, saute the chopped carrots and leek.  When both are soft, add them to your food processor with a little water, and puree until smooth and light brown.  This becomes your soup base.  Add as much water and cream as you like to achieve your soup consistency.  Saute the other half of the mushrooms and add them (whole) to the soup.  While your soup is simmering, add all the herbs, stock, and spices.
