Crotopo Soup

June 21st, 2006

Ingredients:  Clear soup, veal, ham, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg,
rolls.

Pound half a pound of lean veal in a mortar, then add three ounces
of cooked ham with some fat in it, the yolk of an egg, salt,
pepper, and very little nutmeg.  Pass through a sieve, cut some
small French rolls into slices, spread them with the above mixture,
and colour them in the oven.  Then cut them in halves or quarters,
put them into a tureen, and just before serving pour a very good
clear soup over them.
