Vegetable Soup Recipe

2 1/2 lbs. of beef (with soup bone)

3 quarts of water

1 tablespoon sugar

salt to suit taste

a few pepper corns

1 cup of each, of the following vegetables

diced small

carrots

Potatoes

Celery

2 tablespoons onion cut very fine

1/2 head cabbage cut very fine

1/2 can corn (or its equivalent in fresh)

1/2 can peas (or its equivalent fresh)

2 tablespoons minced parsley

1/4 cup turnip and parsnip if at hand (not necessary)

1/2 can tomatoes (or equivalent fresh)



Put meat in large kettle and boil for an hour; now add all the other

ingredients and cook until soft. Ready then to serve.



This soup can be made as a cream soup without meat and is delicious. In

this case you take a good sized piece of butter and fry all the

vegetables slightly, excepting the potatoes. Now cover all, adding

potatoes with boiling water and cook until tender.



When done season and add hot milk and 1 cup cream. This is very fine.



In making this soup without meat omit the tomatoes and use string beans

instead.

are. Brillat Savarin.
