Comments
My Mom and Dad used to make this soup when I was young. It’s one of my favorite soups. I still have the same china they used to serve it in. It’s very easy to make. I never saw this soup in France. Years later I found out that a France chef invented this in New York City in 1917. He was from the town of Vichy where he was born.
