Asparagus Soup Recipe

From MRS. JAMES R. DEANE, of California, Lady Manager.
Two pounds potatoes; two ounces butter; two tablespoonfuls chopped
onions; two tablespoonfuls chopped celery; one quart milk; one quart
boiling water; one-half cupful sago; one-half teaspoonful pepper; one
teaspoonful salt. Wash, peel and slice potatoes, onions and celery.
Melt the butter and add it to the vegetables, stirring it for five
minutes to keep it from browning or burning. Then add the boiling
water. When the vegetables are soft, rub them through a sieve; add the
milk, and when the soup is boiling, add the sago, a little at a time,
and cook until the sago looks clear. Stir the soup well and add
seasoning the last.
