spray twice with vegetable oil. Add the leeks and saute for about 3
minutes, stirring constantly, until translucent. Add the flour and curry
powder. Stir with a wooden spoon until leeks are well coated. Add milk
and boullion cube. Raise the heat heat to high and cook just until bubbles
form around the edge.
Reduce heat to low, whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Stir in fresh mushrooms and cook until soup is at desired thickness.

liquid, strain, squeeze out excess moisture, and roughly chop. Add
mushrooms to stockpot and cook 1 minute more.
Remove from heat, stir in the sherry and garnish with chopped chervil.
