Instructions
Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1
Roll meat in plain flour so it's well dusted, and brown the pieces in butter over a medium heat.
2
Stir in chopped vegetables—an onion, a potato and some root vegetables would be traditional.
3
Add beef stock and bouquet garni. Simmer on a low heat for an hour or two to allow everything to tenderise.
4
Purée the soup. You can chill at this point and reheat when required, or eat it as it is.
5
Just before serving, stir a good tablespoon of Madeira into the pot.
Notes
- •The slow cooking process (and later puréeing) means cheaper cuts of meat can be used, if desired.
