CHEF'S NOTES
Time passes, styles change but Lamb's Lettuce retains its appeal. Though not far from the French city of Nantes, "Villa Mon Rêve," on the banks of the Loire, retains an irresistible country feel as it transforms itself with the rhythm of the seasons, in perfect harmony with the colours and scents of the surrounding countryside.
In this lovely house run by Cécile and Gérard Ryngel, the chef recreates on the plates the delicious landscapes of the region, using the finest market ingredients.
Serve this soup as an appetizer, just before the first course. Accompany it with little garlic flavored croutons, or, for a more refined version, toast some peppercorns for 4 minutes in a hot oven (180° C / 350° F). Crush them and sprinkle over the soup at the last minute.
