Julienne Soup
A refined clear soup featuring vegetables cut into delicate strips (julienne). Unlike the standard vegetable soup, the vegetables here are gently stewed in butter to tenderize them without browning before being combined with rich beef stock.

- 1.5 liters Beef stock (clear) (Use a high-quality clear stock or consommé)
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 medium Turnips
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 30 grams Butter
- 1 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
