Micha, I got this recipe from a Milk Calendar several years agoit has been a favorite ever since.
Leek & Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup butter 2 leeks, washed well, white part only, sliced 1/2 pound mushrooms, chopped 1/4 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt dash cayenne pepper 1 cup chicken broth 3 cups milk 1 tablespoon Sherry (or lemon juice) salt and pepper to taste
In 1/4 cup of butter, saute leeks until tender but not brown. Remove & set aside. In remaining butter, saute mushrooms until soft but not brown. Blend in flour, salt, & cayenne. Gradually stir in broth and milk. Cook, stirring until mixture thickens & comes to a boil. Add leeks, sherry, salt & pepper to taste. Simmer 10 minutes. Serve with thin slices of lemon & a sprinkle of parsley.
