preparation
1. Put the scallops in a sauté pan, ideally one with straight sides, just large enough to hold them in a single layer, and pour in the strained broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops, or until they are opaque on top and just start to feel firm to the touch.
2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the scallops to warmed soup plates and reheat the julienned vegetables in the liquid in the pan. Use tongs to top the scallops with a tangle of julienne. Add the cream and tarragon, and season the broth with salt and pepper. Spoon about l/3 cup of the broth over each serving.
