Vegetable soup
Vegetarians may omit the meat! The vegetable soup below is very delicious with vegetables only.
Ingredients:
- 2 big leeks
- 2 big onions
- 4 big carrots
- 4 big courgettes
- 4 potatoes medium size
- a bunch of celery
- 1 kg meat
- 2 tbs. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
Place the meat in a large casserole and add plenty of water. Heat the liquid very slowly without stirring: it should take an hour or more to reach the boil. Remove the grey scum that collects to the surface as it comes to the boil. Pour in a cup of cold water to encourage more scum to rise. Repeat until the scum is replaced by a white froth.
Add the vegetables except the potatoes and the courgettes that should be added 45 minutes before the food is ready, together with the salt and pepper and some more water if needed. The vegetables must be thickly settled into the casserole and the water should just cover them.
When the food is cooked, remove the meat and press the vegetables through a food mill. As you work, ladle the water over them to speed the pureeing process, then put the pieces of meat back into the soup and serve. |
