Paysanne
The Peasant's soup; but really a very good soup for peer as well as peasant. It is a clear broth with winter vegetables in it. See Brunoise, and also the Introductory chapter.
That French peasant was evidently a woman of great taste, and a desirable person to know. There is another of her nice dishes which is sometimes called Petits pois à la Paysanne. It is one of the nicest vegetable messes that can be sent to table, and is described in the next article Peas under the name of Flemish Peas. The cookery of the Peasant, in fact, and that of the Fleming are almost alike.
