1 lb Bones, pork & veal
2 ea Carrots -- peeled, sliced
1 ea Parsnip -- peeled, sliced

Method :

​

Cook bones and vegetables in 1 1/2 quarts water for
about 2 hours. Keep skimming the broth to remove scum.
Strain. Add enough water to bring the amount to 1 1/2
quarts again. Add barley to the broth and cook until
it is soft.
Make a roux with butter and flour. Cook the roux
over low heat, stirring constantly, but do not let it
become dark. This should be a light roux. Stir 1/3 cup
cold water and 1/3 cup cold milk into the roux and
whip until smooth. Pour into soup and simmer it for 10
minutes.
Puree the soup in a blender or through a sieve.
Adjust the salt to taste. Mix cream with egg yolk and
put it in a soup tureen. Just before serving, pour hot
creamed soup over the yolk and cream mixture.
