In a saucepan over moderately low heat, melt butter and stir in

pour in 1 cup of hot liquid all a once, whisking vigorously to blend
smoothly. Whisk in 6 more cups. Bring to a simmer, stirring, and
simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
The soup base should coat a spoon lightly; add dollops of more
liquid if too thick. Correct seasoning, and continue as your recipes
directs.

Mushroom and Brie Soup.
