A simple brown-roux stock soup from the soup chapter of "Stor kokebok" (1914). The light brown roux is made patiently in a cast-iron pot or the oven, and boiled vegetables are added at serving.
Brown the roux
Mix the butter and flour together well in a cast-iron pot and set it over low heat or into a moderately hot oven. Stir now and then. The roux is done when it has taken on a light brown color.
Thin with stock
Thin with the stock a little at a time while stirring, and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes.
Vegetables
Boil the cauliflower, celery, and parsley roots until tender, cut them up, and add them to the soup at serving.
Measurements converted to modern units. "A quarter hour" is written as 15 minutes. It is specified that the vegetables are boiled tender separately, as the original assumes.
