After the butter melts, add the refined flour and mix well and stir continuously and make a roux. Once the roux is made keep it aside.

Take another Saucepan and add some butter and melt it. 

Now add the chopped onion, leek, celery, garlic and mushrooms and saute properly.

When these are properly sauteed add strained chicken stock and mix properly.

Now add the white roux that we had prepared earlier into the warm chicken stock slowly and continuously stir or else lumps will form, White roux will help to increase the consistency of the soup making it thick pouring consistency. 

Stir continuously as it might get stuck at the bottom and remember boiling a soup is spoiling the soup. So never boil the soup, cook it in a low flame.

Add the salt and white pepper powder to the soup and check the seasoning. 

Make a liaison of egg yolk, double cream, white wine mixed well together.
