Brown Windsor soup is a hearty British soup that was popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
Ingredients edit
Procedure edit
- Roll meat in plain flour so it's well dusted, and brown the pieces in butter over a medium heat.
- Stir in chopped vegetables—an onion, a potato and some root vegetables would be traditional.
- Add beef stock and bouquet garni. Simmer on a low heat for an hour or two to allow everything to tenderise.
- Purée the soup. You can chill at this point and reheat when required, or eat it as it is.
- Just before serving, stir a good tablespoon of Madeira into the pot.
Notes, tips, and variations edit
- The slow cooking process (and later puréeing) means cheaper cuts of meat can be used, if desired.
