Instructions

In a large soup pot melt the butter on medium-low heat, add miso and cook for 2 minutes until creamy.
Add the shallots, celery, garlic, mushrooms, salt, thyme, and pepper. Cook over high heat stirring frequently for 10-15 minutes or until the mushrooms have released all their water, the water has evaporated and the mushrooms start to caramelize at the bottom of the pot.
Set aside 1 1/2 cups of cooked mushrooms. Add broth, and chestnuts, if using them, and blend the soup in the pot in a blender or an immersion blender until creamy.
Add the mushrooms that you set aside, heavy cream and soy sauce, stir well and simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

If you use different varieties of mushrooms, especially when they are in season, the flavor of the soup will be better and more complex.
If you want to make this soup vegan use extra virgin olive oil and either unsweetened canned coconut milk or homemade cashew cream instead of butter and cream.
