Wipe/Wash the mushrooms and slice them evenly.

Peel and finely chop the onion.

Heat 40g (1.5 oz) butter in a pan. Add the onion and leeks, cover tightly and cook gently for about 10 minutes or until soft but not browned.

Put the remaining butter in a small pan with the mushrooms and lemon juice. Cover with a tightly fitted lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender

Stir the flour into the leeks, stirring well. Pour in the stock and slowly bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked mushrooms and juices and mix well. Reheat gently.
