Notes
- If making this for small children, leave out the extra salt and use low salt stock.
- If you don't have any fresh thyme, then you can use dried instead. But it won't have the same flavour, as it isn't cooked for long enough to let the flavours of the dried herb to come out.
- To add extra flavour, you can cook the shallots, carrots and celery in a mixture of butter and oil.
