Steps:

• Fry bacon in a stockpot over medium heat until it is semi-crispy, about 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes and onion and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in mushrooms, garlic powder, and onion powder; cook and stir until mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes more.
• Pour water and milk over mushroom mixture, add thyme and flour, and bring to a boil. Boil until potatoes are very soft, adding water as needed, about 20 minutes. Crush some of the potatoes with a wooden spoon to reach a creamier consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

BALSAMIC-THYME ROASTED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Gently clean off mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Cut off stems and discard. Cut any larger mushrooms in half so mushrooms are all about the same size and place in a medium bowl.
• Cut the white parts of the green onions into 1/2-inch pieces and add to the mushrooms. Thinly slice the green parts and set aside for later.
• Whisk oil, vinegar, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the mushroom mixture and toss to coat. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip mushrooms over and roast for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and season with more salt, if desired. Sprinkle with reserved green onion parts.

BALSAMIC MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, cover the dried mushrooms with boiling water and let soak for 30 minutes.
• Saute onions for 5 minutes in the olive oil until they're softened but not browned. Add the butter (extra olive oil if you think you need it) abd fresh mushrooms. Saute for about 8 minutes.
• Add the dried mushrooms, the soaking water, chicken stock, and parsley.
• Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for about one hour.
• Taste after one hour. If the soup doesn't seem flavorful enough, cook a bit longer to reduce a little more. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Puree by using an immersion blender, food processor or regular blender (If using the latter two methods, puree in batches so the container doesn't overflow).
• Drizzle with vinegar once in individual bowls.

• Stir in the half-and-half, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Heat through, but do not boil.
