Origin: London, England
Source: Anonymous, 1846
Ingredients
- 3 quarts strong stock
- sweet herbs
- 1 carrot
- 1 turnip
- 1 head of celery
- vermicelli, maccaroni, or thin slices of carrot
- sippets of fried bread
Instructions
- Bring the strong stock to a simmer with a bunch of sweet herbs, a carrot, a turnip, and a head of celery. These flavoring vegetables and herbs are not meant to be served in the finished soup—they are for seasoning only and should be removed before serving.
- Choose one or more garnish options: vermicelli, maccaroni, or thin slices of carrot, along with small sippets of fried bread cut into fancy shapes. Serve these garnishes in the soup bowl.
