champignon and hazelnut cream soup

It was the third of January when a friend of mine came to Lyon. I thought I would not meet her, as the stomach flu reached me just a few days earlier, yet we met and a few hours later ended up eating local ravioli, crunch chicken, and mushroom and hazelnut soup at a local brasserie. Although the soup was served a tiny bit colder than it should be, it was so good that I knew that someday I would recreate it at home. And I did. A simple and very French thing to serve any time of the year.
