[Hou-announce] Stargate Yule

[Forrest Hedrick]

Greetings Unto, TheirExcellinceis and The Populace,
 
    I would first like to thank Their Excellencies, and the Event stewards for the opportunity to serve as Feast Steward.  I had a blast and I am everyone enjoyed dinner.   I would also like to thank everyone for the compliments and comments about the food.  I take a some measure of pride in my cooking, and to hear a near silent feast hall  was amazing! (not that my ego needs anymore boosting)  For the servers I send out my deepest gratitude for your efforts to help get everyone fed.  My turban is off to you!
 
  For those who requested it, and I am absolutely floored by the compliment, here is the soup recipe.  It's one of those that has to be tweaked to your personal taste.
 
1 stick REAL butter
1/2 cup flour
3  leeks (about 3/4" in diameter)
8 oz fresh mushrooms
1 14 oz can of chicken broth (vegetble stock can be substituted)
1 quart milk
garlic, salt, white pepper to taste
parmesan cheese to thicken, about 1/4 cup
 
Slice the leeks in thin circles, including the tops, rinse thouroughly.  Course chop the mushrooms.  
 
Melt butter, add the leeks and mushrooms and "sweat" over low heat until tender.
 
Stir in flour, and cook to thicken, careful not to scorch.  Stir frequently.
 
Add the milk and broth, then seasoning once liquids have warmed.   Add the cheese and let simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring frequntly to prevent clumping or scorching. 
 
Thank you all, once again, for the opportunity to show off and to serve.
 
In service to the Dream and Ansteorra,
 
Lrd. Ambrose Blackwood von Mapt, Al Kaleed Ibn Tarl
