Melt butter/margarine in a pan.
Add flour and stir until blended to a smooth paste.
Pour the stock through a strainer into the paste and simmer 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
When smooth and blended, beat the egg yolk in a bowl with cream and stir in a few spoonfuls of the hot soup until you have about 1 cup.
Slowly pour this mixture into the pan, stirring constantly.

Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Chop the reserved tarragon leaves and scatter on top.
