Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Melt 3 T butter in a saucepan and saute the onions slowly for about 8 - 10 minute Do not brown, just get them tender.
  2. Add the flour and stir over moderate heat for about 3 minute without browning.
  3. Off heat, beat in the boiling stock or broth with a wire whisk and blend it thoroughly with the flour. Season to taste. Stir in the mushroom stems.
  4. Simmer partially covered for 20 minutes, skimming occasionally.
  5. Strain mixture through a fine sieve, pressing juices out of the mushroom stems. I do this by placing the sieve over a large saucepan, letting the juices collect in the pan. Discard the stems and onions in the sieve.
  6. In another saucepan, melt the 2 T butter.
  7. Add the sliced mushroom caps, salt and lemon juice.
  8. Cook slowly for about 5 minutes.
  9. Pour the mushrooms and their cooking liquid into the saucepan with the strained soup base.
  10. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  11. *If you're not serving this immediately, set aside, uncovered, with a spoonful of cream or milk filming the surface. Reheat to simmer jut before proceeding.
  12. Beat the 2 egg yolks and 1/2 - 3/4 C cream in a mixing bowl. Add the hot soup by ladle-fuls until a cup has been added. Gradually add this back into the simmering soup.
  13. Stir soup over moderate heat for a minute or two to poach the eggs, but do not let soup come near a simmer.
  14. Correct seasoning.
  15. Off heat, stir in the remaining butter by spoonfuls, if desired.
