  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 1/2 pints of milk
  • salt and pepper
  • another 1 1/2 oz. butter
  • 12 oz. mushrooms, chopped up very finely (i use the food processor - same for the parsley etc.)
  • some finely chopped garlic - i put in 2 cloves but to your taste really. actually i cheated and used the ready chopped 'lazy' garlic from a jar
  • a glass of sherry (optional)
  • 8 fl. oz. chicken stock
  • single cream to finish
  • a little parsley to garnish

Directions:

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter.

  4. Gradually add the milk - stir really fast until you have a smooth bechamel.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add a sprinkle of nutmeg.
  7. Cook the bechamel very gently for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently.
  8. During this time, in a separate pot, melt the other measure of butter.
  9. Add the mushrooms.
  10. Cook them very gently for about 10 minutes.
  11. Add the garlic, the parsley and some more salt and pepper.
  12. You can add a glass of sherry at this stage if you like it.
  13. After 2-3 minutes, pour in the bechamel and the chicken stock.
  14. Let it heat through thoroughly. If the soup is too thick you can add more stock or milk.
  15. When serving, swirl a little cream on top and garnish with a wee sprig of parsley.
