Ingredients

  • 4 pounds (1.8 kg ) gravy beef
  • 2 pounds (910 g ) mutton scrag (neck)
  • 2 pounds (910 g) veal scrag
  • 2 gallons (7.6 L / 32 cups ) water
  • 2 pairs of giblets , scaled
  • Butter
  • Flour
  • Finely-chopped parsley
  • Chives
  • Pennyroyal
  • Sweet marjoram
  • Madeira wine
  • Salt
  • Cayenne pepper

Directions

1

Boil the beef, mutton, and veal in the water. Stew the meat gently until the broth begins to taste well.

2

Remove the meat and let the broth stand until cold. Skim off all the fat.

3

Add the giblets to the broth, and simmer them until they are very tender. Take them out and strain the soup through a cloth.

4

Put a piece of butter rolled in flour into a pan with the parsley, chives, pennyroyal, and sweet marjoram.

5

Place the soup over a slow fire. Add the giblets, fried butter, herbs, a little Madeira wine, some salt, and cayenne pepper.

6

When the herbs are tender, serve the soup. This makes a very savory dish.
