Thick Pea Soup Recipe

Fry one sliced onion, (cost half a cent,) in one ounce

of suet or drippings, (cost half a cent,) using an iron pot to fry it

in; as soon as it is brown, put into the same pot, three quarts of cold

water, one pint, or fourteen ounces of well washed peas, (cost five

cents,) and boil as above; this quantity of peas does not need any

crusts in the soup; it will be thick enough; but bread may be eaten with

it, if you want it. This soup costs six cents.
