Onion Soup Recipe

Chop half a quart of onions, (cost three cents,) fry them

brown, in a large saucepan, with two ounces of drippings, stirring until

they are well browned, but not burned; then stir in half a pound, or a

little less, of oatmeal, (cost three cents,) add three quarts of water,

and season to taste with pepper and salt; (the drippings and seasoning

cost one cent;) while the soup is boiling, which must be for about

twenty minutes, with occasional stirring, toast a third of a six cent

loaf of bread, cut it in half inch bits, lay it in the soup tureen; and,

when the soup is ready pour it on the toast. The soup will cost about

ten cents, and is extremely nourishing.
