SOUPS


~ASPARAGUS SOUP~--Take three pounds of knuckle of veal and put it to
boil in a gallon of water with a couple of bunches of asparagus, boil
for three hours, strain, and return the juice to the pot. Add another
bunch of asparagus, chopped fine, and boil for twenty minutes, mix a
tablespoonful of flour in a cup of milk and add to the soup. Season with
salt and pepper, let it come to a boil, and serve at once.


~BEAN SOUP~--One-half pound or one cup is sufficient for one quart of
soup. Soups can be made which use milk or cream as basis. Any kind of
green vegetable can be used with them, as creamed celery or creamed
cauliflower. The vegetable is cooked and part milk and part water or
