Fish Soup Recipe

Cod-fish cuttings, Dutch plaice, skate, dabs, haddocks, cod's-heads,

cod's-tails, or any fresh-water fish you may happen to catch when

fishing, conger eels cut in slices, and almost any kind of fish which

may come within reach of your means, are all more or less fit for making

a good mess of soup for a meal. First, chop fine some onions, and put

them into a pot with enough water to furnish about half a pint for each

person to be provided for, and set this on the fire to boil for ten

minutes; then add your pieces of fish, of about four ounces each; season

with thyme, pepper, and salt, and boil the soup for about fifteen

minutes longer, when it will be ready for dinner. Some well-boiled

potatoes will prove a welcome addition to this soup.



Note.--This kind of fish soup will prove the more advantageous near

the sea-coast, where inferior kinds of fish are always very cheap.
