French Thickening for Soups

The favorite liaison or thickening for cream soups and purees is a mixture of raw egg yolks and cream, the real proportion being two yolks well beaten with one-half of a cupful of cream and stirred into the soup when it is off the boil to prevent separation or curdling, and a moment or so before taking from the fire.
