Using a soup kettle heat the remaining butter and add the mushrooms and saute for about 8-9 minutes. Add the flour and truffle powder if using and stir minute or so. Stir in the sherry and water, then strain in the hot mushroom stock stirring well and continuing to cook. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat down as low s it will go and simmer for 15 minutes. Right before serving dissolve the cornstarch in the 10 1/2 oz. cold undiluted broth and add it to the soup stirring and returning to a boil.
