Vegetable Garnish for Soups

Small branches of cauliflower, very small onions, celery cut into shapes, cardoons treated in the same manner, lettuce, spinach or sorrel leaves, may be used for this, one or more kinds of them at a time. Cook the vegetables in a small quantity of clear soup, and pour it into the tureen but a few minutes before serving.
