Provençale Marriage Broth with Saffron

The French, as might be expected of a nation that takes such a passionate interest in all matters gastronomic, probably have more pot-au-feu recipes than Napoleon had nights with Josephine—this, in essence, is one such. At the end, you might like to faire chabrot by pouring a little of the red wine from your glass into a final ladleful of the hot soup, and drink the health of your companions just as it comes, straight from the bowl.
