Slice the leeks, the shallots and the mushrooms in small pieces. Sweat them in olive oil without browning them.
Add the lips and the butter. Cook them gently until it starts browning. Deglaze with white wine and moisten with the French cream and the white stock (or water).
Bring to a boil and cook it at low heat for 1h.
Blend the mix and pour it through a strainer.
Check the seasoning.
Just before serving, emulsify the soup with the blender to make it light.
