    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.

    Okay, I made the Escoffier version today. Absolutely sublime and quite easy to make. Tomorrow, I will try the simplified version, although personally, to me, both versions are easy. Truthfully cooking some potatoes is no less work than making a Béchamel or veloute. Just an opinion.

  • @davidkulmaczewski4911
    @davidkulmaczewski4911 2 місяці тому

    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....
