@Getpojke 5 ай бұрын

Lovely soup, really shows of the quality of the veg used. I also make a version replacing the cauliflower with parsnips when they come into season. With both, a whisper of freshly grated nutmeg at the end really works as it plays nicely with all the ingredients. There's also a version that is garnished with sliced seared scallops, That's just heaven in a bowl for me.

I can imagine this entire recipe came about because Louis XV was going through some kind of weird 'white' phase and wanted food to match. I finally understand the whole light versus dark chicken stock thing... "His Majesty wants all his food white today, better make that special pale chicken stock." Treasured cooking techniques have persisted into the 21st century because an 18th century monarch got anal about the color of his food. It's *good* to be the King....

According to the wictionary it does (influenced by “porray”, a leak stew). And soupe was the french word for sop, so it originally meant a potage thickened with bread.

Sorry, but I cannot find this apparently traditional French soup in Escoffier (1934 translated), Elizabeth David, or Volume 1 of my 5 volumes of Careme (in French). But apparently it’s in the Larousse Gastronomique (which I don’t have). Or is it actually a soup version of Escoffier’s Purée de chou-fleur (also 4 parts cauliflower to 1 part potato) ? Can anyone help me here ?

On finishing this soup using chicken stock from Michel Roux Jnr’s recipe, I found it pretty bland. Probably why it was not so easy to track down. A few drops of lemon juice did offer a variation.
