My husband is an avid Morel hunter. This is a deliciously rich soup. From Ingredients:
1 lb morel |
1 lemon, juice of |
6 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons onions, chopped |
1 small garlic clove, chopped |
salt |
pepper |
5 tablespoons flour |
4 1/2 cups beef stock (or rehydrated morel juice) or 4 1/2 cups chicken stock (or rehydrated morel juice) |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Chop morels finely. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
2. Melt 1/3 of the butter in a pan and cook the onion and garlic in it until soft and yellow, but not brown.
3. Add morels and cook until juices are absorbed by the mushrooms.
4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a large saucepan. Stir in the flour then add hot stock, gradually, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
