INGREDIENTS:
13 oz mushrooms 2 oz butter 3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 4 cups chicken stock 1 cup cream
salt and pepper, to taste



1 Using your fingers, carefully peel the skin from the mushrooms. Chop the stems and caps coarsely. Heat the butter in a large pan, add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft.
2 Add the flour and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken stock and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
3 In a food processor or blender, process soup in batches until smooth. Return to pan; add the cream and stir over low heat until soup is heated through. Add the salt and pepper and serve.
4 NOTE: Rehydrated dried shiitake mushrooms will give a stringer flavor to this soup than regular mushrooms, but either can be used.
