The julienne soup gets its name from the way in which the vegetables that make it up are cut, a technique currently known as "cut in julienne" but which in its origins was called "chiselling".
This technique consists of cutting the vegetables and vegetables in a thin and elongated way, with a length of about 5 cm. long and about 2 mm. wide, approximately. This allows the ingredients to take less time to cook and to do it in a more uniform way, in addition to providing a greater eyeiness and harmony to the dish.
The cut in julienne is one of the oldest cuts in kitchen, appearing written for the first time in 1806, specifically in the book 'Le Cusinier Impérial'. Regarding the origin of his name, some authors claim that it may be related to Jean Julien, the first chef to publish gastronomic literature with information about the different types of cut to prepare vegetables.
Although julienne soup can be found with its dried ingredients, this homemade version is much more flavorful and aromatic. And it is a juicy and comforting soup dominated by the soft taste of cabbage and tender carrot, coupled with the appetizing point of tomato.
But besides being a very tasty dish and very easy to prepare, this soup is very moisturizing and rich in high quality nutrients, because it keeps all the finely cut vegetables, which, in addition, replace the pasta that other soups are used to carry, resulting much lighter and more nutritious.
