Step by Step guide

Step 1

Thoroughly wash the morels. If desired, blanch them in boiling water for a couple of minutes. Cut each mushroom into 4 pieces and drizzle with lemon juice.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt the remaining butter. Stir in the flour and sauté for 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and mix until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms with the onion and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the cream, salt, and pepper, and blend with an immersion blender. Return to heat and bring to a boil.
