About the dish

A rich vegetable purée in the French style, thickened with egg yolks and cream. Erken points out that "second-run stock" — stock from already boiled bones — is good enough here, a typical expression of the household economy of the book.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare the vegetables

    Clean all the vegetables and cut them into thin slices.

  2. 2

    Sweat under a lid

    Melt the butter, add the vegetables and the spices, stir well and let it sweat under a lid for ½ hour. It must not brown.

  3. 3

    Add flour and stock

    Sprinkle over the rice flour, mix well and add the meat stock. Second-run stock may well be used.

  4. 4

    Simmer until tender

    Let the soup simmer for about 3 hours, or until the vegetables are completely tender.

  5. 5

    Purée the soup

    Press the soup through a colander or sieve. Rinse the pot, pour the soup back, season with salt and bring it to a boil.

  6. 6

    Liaison with egg and cream

    Whisk together the egg yolks and cream and strain them into the soup while whisking vigorously. The soup must not boil after the egg yolks are added.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the soup with egg dumplings or small filled choux puffs.

Changes from the original

Measurements are modernized (g, l, tablespoons). "Rubbed through a colander" is kept as pressing through a colander or sieve. The steps are numbered and salt is given as "to taste".

Frequently asked questions

How long does the soup take to make?
Count on about 4 hours total: the vegetables sweat in butter under a lid for about ½ hour, then the soup simmers about 3 hours until the vegetables are completely tender.
Which vegetables go into it?
4 carrots, 1 swede, 2 leeks, celeriac and 1 onion, plus a small bay leaf and 5 peppercorns as seasoning. Everything is cleaned and cut into thin slices.
Can I use second-run stock?
Yes, the recipe explicitly says that the stock (2½ l meat stock) may well be second-run stock.
How is the soup liaisoned?
Two egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of cream are whisked together and strained into the soup while whisking hard. The soup must not boil after this, or the egg mixture will separate. The vegetables are pressed through a colander before the liaison.
