Steps

  1. Thoroughly wash the parsley and finely chop it. Place a pot on the stove and melt the butter in it. Then add the flour and stir constantly until it changes color. Slowly add the soup stock spoon by spoon, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for about 5 minutes until the flour thickens and the soup becomes creamy.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix the cream and egg yolk. Remove the pot from the heat and gently stir in the egg yolk and cream. Then return the pot to the stove, but only long enough to thoroughly mix in the yolk and cream. Immediately remove the soup from the heat again and season with salt and pepper.
