4. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, adding clear broth.
5. Add pepper and salt to taste. Don't overdo it. When the Rahm (cream) has been reduced and is fairly thick, add the sliced mushrooms.
6. Turn off heat and remove pan.

9. To finish the successful meal, enjoy an ice sorbet and a glass of champagne.
