This is our favorite soup so just one photo was not enough. Here are some more documenting the process.
Note the 2001 paper edition of the What, ME Cook? book. And French chestnuts from Trader Joe's a year old, way past the expected shelf life. Didn't seem to matter.

Ready to go.

The leek, celery base is really the key to this dish. Better color in this shot.
The mushroom conversion has this alternative naming ingredient.
Resulting in a different shade of soup.
