    Step 11:

  • Wash the giblets very well, blanch them with boiling water, and peel off any membranes. Chop them finely, put them in a pot, and set it over the heat. Add the chopped root vegetables and cut-up onion to the water. Season with salt and pepper. Once everything is cooked, take the pot off the heat, remove the giblets, rinse them again in clean water, and strain the broth through cheesecloth. Return the clear broth to the stove, add the diced potatoes, and cook. Chop the carrot and onion and sauté them in vegetable oil until golden. Add the giblets and the sliced mushrooms. (By the way, you can use any cooking mushroom in place of button mushrooms — porcini, chanterelles, honey mushrooms, and so on.) Sauté everything over low heat for about ten minutes. Once the potatoes are done, add the sautéed mixture to the soup and bring it back to a boil. You can add vermicelli or pasta if you like. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs at the very end.
