Method:

Place mussels in a mixing bowl, pour water over and set aside.

Heat butter in a heavy based pot and fries the onion until soft. Heat the milk in another pot, add chicken stock cubes, and stir till dissolved.

Add the cake flour to the butter and cook for two minutes, stirring all the time. Remove from the heat.

Add the hot chicken stock milk gradually, stir continuously until smooth.
