RECIPE BY: Engrossed

Simple and elegant. I found this on one of my Mother's recipe cards. I'm not sure if she made it up or found it in a cookbook.

    123 Hit Wonders 2008 ~ This was quick and easy to put together with lovely flavors. As the other reviewer said, it would make a nice, light starter to any meal. Don't forget the sherry as it really makes a difference.

    This recipe couldn't have been easier. It tasted fresh and light, but also much more complex and flavorful than ordinary broth. This would make an excellent first course for a heavy meal. I made this keeper recipe for photo tag.
