French Mushroom and Scallion Soup
This is a wonderful soup with unusual ingredients--scallions and mushrooms! The soup has a delicate flavor, and once pureed, becomes thicker and more chowder-like. We loved this with crusty bread and some salmon on the side.

DIRECTIONS
- Heat the butter in a large pot over moderate heat.
- Saute the scallions and garlic until tender but not too brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook 2 to 3 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Add the stock and mushrooms and bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
- Simmer covered for 5 minutes.
- Puree in batches using an electric blender or food processor.
- (If you have one, an immersion blender is the best!) Strain, return to the pot and add the cream or half& half, salt, and pepper.
- Reheat and serve garnished with chopped fresh herbs.
- Serve with a crusty loaf of French bread and a glass of wine.
