A pale poultry velouté made sumptuous with chicken purée, a silken liaison, and toasted-hazelnut butter, with tiny hazelnut quenelles floating through every ivory bowl at the table.

Woodcock gives itself twice to this potage, first as a deep game velouté, then as tender royale and butter-seared fillet, finished with foie gras, cream, and burnt brandy.

Potage de Santé
Potage de Santé turns sieved potato, white consommé, butter-melted sorrel, and a gentle liaison into a pale, restorative soup whose silk depends on one rule: once the yolks enter, it must never boil.

Two finished veloutés become one poised soup: potato gives body, tomato gives brightness, and tiny capsicum chicken quenelles bring warmth beneath a final, generous mounting of butter.
Chef Juliette
Potage Solférino
A market-basket potage with a classical lesson: build sweetness gently in butter, sieve for silk, then finish with potato pearls, green-bean lozenges, chervil, and enough cold butter to make the surface gleam.
Chef Juliette
Potage Viviane
A pale chicken cream becomes Potage Viviane through restraint: a warm liaison for satin body, then precise dice of artichoke, carrot, and black truffle, each spoonful ivory, gold, and earth-dark.
Chef Juliette
Potage Windsor
Potage Windsor layers crème de riz, gelatinous calf’s-foot liquor, turtle herbs, and tiny egg-yolk quenelles into a stately soup, scaled for one attentive cook and a generous table.

Chef Juliette
Cocky-Leeki Soup
Potage Cocky-Leeki makes clarity the whole lesson: chicken poached at a tremble in veal stock, pale leek julienne softened in butter, and fine meat returned with prunes waiting alongside.
Chef Juliette
Soupe aux Foies de Volaille
Soupe aux Foies de Volaille turns modest chicken livers into a peppery, Madeira-scented soup, using brown roux and careful sieving to teach how texture and seasoning carry the deepest classical flavors.
Chef Juliette
Soupe Julienne Darblay
Soupe Julienne Darblay gives the spoon two textures: a smooth potato purée enriched with liaison and butter, then fine carrot, turnip, and leek cut julienne-fashion for a tender, distinct bite.
Chef Juliette
Minestrone
A clear, generous minestrone built in the French classical manner: leeks and bacon first, a fine garden of vegetables next, then rice, garlic, basil, and Gruyère passed separately at the table.
Chef Juliette
Mille-Fanti
Mille-Fanti draws one clear lesson from the stockpot: add the frothy egg mixture gradually, whisk without pause, and a plain white consommé fills with delicate, savory threads.
Chef Juliette
Mulligatawny Soup
A curried fowl soup made supple with cream, passed fine, and purified at a quiet simmer, with tender chicken in the tureen and rice à l'Indienne served properly apart.
Chef Juliette
Soupe aux Gombos ou Okra
Soupe aux gombos builds body without flour: onion and bacon soften in butter, chicken cooks in clear consommé, then okra, tomato, rice, and Worcestershire make the bowl complete.
Chef Juliette
Soupe à la Paysanne
Finely minced garden vegetables first surrender to butter, then simmer in clear consommé until each spoonful is tender but distinct, with crisp flute roundels served apart for crunch.
Chef Juliette
Soupe aux Poireaux et Pommes de Terre (Bonne Femme)
Leek whites soften in butter without colour, potato roundels simmer in clear stock, and warm milk with a final butter finish turns this thrifty bonne femme soup quietly luxurious.
Chef Juliette
Soupe aux Rognons
A brown roux gives this warming soup its body, briskly butter-seared kidney gives it character, and Madeira gives the final perfume. The lesson is timing: garnish at the last possible moment.
