- 1⁄4 cup celery, minced
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 2 cups oyster mushrooms, quartered

directions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over high heat for 2 minutes, or until smoking hot. Decrease the heat to medium-high, and then add the carrots, onions, and celery. Saute the mixture for 5 minutes or until the ingredients are nearly caramelized.
- Add the garlic, the oyster mushrooms, and the wild mushrooms, and then continue to saute the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are nearly browned. Immediately deglaze the pan with the sherry, then bring to a boil for 1 minute.
- Add the dried mushrooms and the chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to low, and simmer until the soup reaches the desired consistency. Swirl in the sage, spinach, and enokis, and then remove from the heat. Season it with the salt and pepper.
- To serve, evenly distribute the soup among serving bowls, drizzle with the truffle oil, and garnish with the Asiago cheese.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
