Melt the butter in a pot, add the cucumbers and onion, and cook over low
heat for 10 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the flour and cook for 3
minutes. Slowly add the stock and milk and bring to the boiling point.
Remove from heat and put through a strainer or vegetable mill or puree in a
food processor or blender. Return to the pot, add the cream, egg yolks,
