Ingredients 6 ingredients

  1. Cut
  2. one tablespoonful of asparagus-heads
  3. Lettuce
  4. Sorrel
  5. two tablespoonfuls of tapioca
  6. one quart of boiling consommé

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Sprinkle two tablespoonfuls of tapioca into one quart of boiling consommé, and set to cook gently for a quarter of an hour.
  2. Put into the soup-tureen one tablespoonful of asparagus-heads, the same quantity of peas and of French beans cut into lozenges, a few roundels of sorrel leaves, and as many roundels of poached lettuce leaves.
  3. Pour the boiling consommé, with tapioca, over this garnish, and add a large pinch of chervil pluches.
