Sherried Mushroom Mustard Soup

Tangy and earthen, this is a rich, hot first course for 4 people.

2 Tablespoons butter
1 pound fresh white mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons flour
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
2 Tablespoons dry sherry
1/2 Tablespoon dijon mustard
salt and pepper
1 potato, grated
1 green onion, sliced thinly on a diagonal

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring , until the liquid evaporates--about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, then stir in and keep stirring for about a minute to let the flour develop. Whisk in the the stock, sherry, and mustard--then grate in the potato into the broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, drizzle a little sherry on top and garnish with diagonally sliced green onions.
