Fill up with good veal broth and when the pieces of chicken are nearly soOps 21 done, strain them off into a sieve, saving their broth in a basin. Cool the pieces of the chicken in very cold water and then take them up on a clean napkin, trim them neatly and place them in a soup pot, to be put into the soup afterwards.
