    Title: Cream Of Mushroom Soup
    Categories: Soups
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 lb Mushrooms
    1 Lemon; juice of
    3 oz Butter
    1 Shallot; chopped -OR-
    1 tb Onion; chopped
    1 cl Garlic
    Salt & pepper
    2 oz Flour
    1 qt Beef stock
    4 oz Double cream

    Make a duxelles as follows. Chop garlic finely and add, with the
    onions or shallots, to 1/3rd of the butter in a pan. Sweat, then cook
    gently until golden. Meanwhile prepare mushrooms, chop, and sprinkle
    with lemon juice. When onions or shallots are golden, add mushrooms
    and cook. If they exude a great deal of liquid, strain and boil down
    separately to avoid overcooking the mushrooms. Season with salt,
    pepper, and nutmeg.

    Make a roux from remaining 2 oz of butter and the flour. Add stock
    and make a sauce as usual. Simmer 20 minutes. Add mushroom duxelles
    and cook a further 10 minutes. Just before serving, correct seasoning
    and add cream.
