Steps:
- Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
- Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh mushrooms and escargot will give your soup a more vibrant and delicious taste.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in butter before adding them to the soup will help to enhance their flavor and add depth to the broth.
- Use a Good Quality Stock: The stock you use for your soup will have a big impact on the overall flavor. Use a good quality stock, such as homemade or a store-bought brand that is low in sodium.
- Simmer the Soup: Simmering the soup over low heat for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and allow the ingredients to meld together. Don't boil the soup, as this can make the escargot tough.
- Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.
- Garnish the Soup: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh parsley, chives, or croutons for a pop of color and flavor.
