NOTES : For my tenth birthday, my father took me on a boat trip across Lake
Ontario from the American side to Toronto. To me, at that age, it was a
great adventure. I still remember some of the things I ate. The lake boat I
was on happened to have a famous French chef who was working there as a
rest from his usually heavy duties. I think he must have enjoyed it, to
make so many good things. I liked this soup so much, I insisted my father
ask for the recipe for me. We were successful in getting it.
