Method

Step by step

  1. Sweat the aromatics in a little fat until soft, with no rush and no color.
  2. Add the base ingredients and toast them briefly to build flavor.
  3. Pour in the stock, bring to a bare simmer, and let it cook until everything is tender.
  4. Adjust the seasoning, finish with herbs, and serve with something crusty alongside.
