Julienne Soup. No. 2. “Potage Julienne.” (l’Été, Rue Castiglione.)
Have some really good stock well prepared, and carrots sufficient for the quantity of soup you intend to make; two-thirds fewer turnips than carrots; onion, some celery and some leeks; cut all these vegetables intonarrow, long strips, leaving out the core of the carrots. Fry them all in butter till a good colour, drain off the butter, and moisten with a glassful ofstock, add a small handful of sorrel, the leaves of a lettuce, and a handful of peas, if in season.
Also add tarragon or chervil if you wish and 1 lump of white sugar.
Boil all together, and reduce till all liquid is lost, which is called bringing into jelly (“tombera glace”). Add this to some stock previously drawn, and boil gently in order to skim off the fat and get the soup clear. Season and serve.
