Soup alla Nazionale

Make a savoury custard and divide it into three parts, one to be left white, another coloured red with tomato, and the third green with spinach.

Put a layer of each in a buttered saucepan and cook for about ten minutes

Cut it into dice, so that you have the three Italian colours (red, white, and green) together

Then put the custard into a soup tureen and pour a good clear soup over it.
