      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.
