Brown Windsor soup is a hearty British soup popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The dish generally contains lamb or beef steak, parsnips, carrots, leeks, bouquet garni, and Madeira wine. Traditionally, the meat, vegetables, and broth is processed (either via a blender, or rubbed through a sieve) into a thick blend. Brown Windsor soup was one of the starter dishes on the menu at Fawlty Towers, although it has fallen out of fashion since the 1980s and the advent of nouvelle cuisine.
