I came up with this one on my own. The seasoning and some of the cooking method were inspired by a French recipe for lamb kidneys out of the Joy of Cooking.

You’ll need a large soup cauldron and a wok , a wire whisk, a large stirring spoon (not slotted), a large (1-quart or 1-litre) measuring cup, a mixing bowl, and a ladle.

ready in about an hour and a half; serves 6
You might need to buy:
  • diced onions
  • water
  • pouches beef bouillion
  • pouches chicken bouillion
  • flour
  • sweet paprika
  • cooking sherry
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • celery salt
  • salt
  • coarse black pepper

Delicious and great for colds! I usually double or quadruple the recipe and freeze some of the soup.
