• Add the mushrooms and cook gently for 4 minutes, stirring.
• Add the stock and milk and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft.
• Stir in the chopped tarragon, salt and black pepper. Season to taste.
• Leave the soup to cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. I usually only puree half of the soup, to retain some of the texture.
• Return to the saucepan and reheat slowly on medium low heat.
• Stir in sherry.
• Ladle the soup into warm soup bowls. Very lightly sprinkle with Parmesan if desired and serve garnished with springs of tarragon.
