Ingredients

1 cup whipping cream
2 large shallots, chopped
1 1/2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms (such as stemmed shiitake, crimini, and portobellini, dark gills removed), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup dry Marsala
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme plus fresh thyme sprigs

Preparation

  1. Boil cream and shallots in heavy large pot over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and 1/4 cup Marsala.
