ref=”https://thinktasty1.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/vegetable-soup-400×400.jpg”>One of the first things you learn to make in many cooking schools is a vegetable soup in which all the vegetables must be cut to the same size pieces. If you make a soup like this and add a salad, which also contains a lot of veggies, you’ll be off to a good start. (If you feel like splurging, serve a loaf of good bread.) Just keep it up, try to use good knife technique each and every time you cook, and your cooking is bound to improve.

This is a good soup recipe adapted from Henri-Paul Pellaprat’s Everyday French Cooking which will allow you work on your julienning skills.
