About the dish

The book urges the cook to taste the soup and gives a variation with a flour thickening instead of grains.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Cook the vegetables

    Cut the vegetables and potatoes small. Add just enough boiling water to cover, then the grains and butter. Cook until tender.

  2. 2

    Add the milk

    Add the milk little by little until the soup is the right thickness.

  3. 3

    Season

    Add the finely chopped parsley and salt to taste. Taste the soup.

  4. 4

    Thickened variation

    Alternatively, brown the vegetables in the butter, leave out the grains, and whisk a flour thickening into the boiling milk and cooked vegetables.
