- Note: When buying mussels look for small ones which have tightly closed shells - a sign which they are alive and thus fresher.

- Meanwhile, remove the mussel meat from most of the shells, leaving some mussel shells intact for serving as a side dish with the minced vegetables.
- Pour the heavy cream into reduced soup. Whisk while maintaining the high heat. Add in mussel meat slowly. Whisk gently. Then continue to stir with a soup ladle till it boils.
- Ladle soup into soup bowls. Add in sprigs of chervil to top of soup for garnish.
- Serve the remaining mussels on the side with an array of the cooked minced vegetables.
