some sew families fa tes soup appears out OB the table as aft an introduction to the dinner put out w a most of cases c at least outside of the city soup when cooked is the staple part orrt of the dor dinner there aro are many kinds of soup from the hastily prepared vegetable soup to the elaborate mock turtle soup the first and most important thing to watch in the preparation of this foad is that the grease is all skimmed off and that it is not served full fall of s of meat bits of bone and strings of 0 vegetables if I 1 you are making year soup from OM ends and fri fragments of meat or if you do not intend having the meat served at dinner it i is s best to put the meat on with cold water as they will draw all the juices juices into the water as it becomes heated if the meat is to serve as the piece ets do resistance si for the dinner you will need to pour boding water over the meat when you put it into the pot so tw that the juices jue may all be kept in CLIAR SOUP half hal an hour

ehte meat is taken out ot ot of the pot previous cream bein being 4 added sooae traill trai fl the soup before thickening but U le trouble and just q good to do so after all is cooked I 1 learned to make this delicious soup from a most excellent cook and housekeeper aunt lucy BRAN BEAN SOUP this soup is made in a family whose table is always spread with simple food and whose door is is always open to receive friends your beans should be cooked the day before and if you choose you can go through the tedious process of straining them through the strainer the night before you use them let me advise you to take a quart uart of beans for a large family neen SOX soak them overnight over night cook them fifteen minutes the next day in soda water then throw the water off put them in the oven or ip in the pot with some good soup liquor and a piece of fat meat when they are cooked soft you can if you choose pour them into a baking dish put a generous lump of butter on them with pepper the salt should be boiled lo in them then bake them for half an hour and you will find them delicious or you can serve them as boiled beans and they will be er enjoyed joyed the next day take what beans are left we hope you had at least a pint left mesh mash them through a sieve and hard work it is too but if you will put a little water in it will help you in straining strai oine them and then put them on the stove with a little water and about a quart of good rich milk you should put them in a double kettle if you have ones one and if not improvise one by putting a lard bucket in your stove pot in about fifteen minutes after they have begun boiling taste them and season them or rather it for it is soup now and dish and send to the table very hot fresh bread and butter make a delightful accompaniment to this soup NOODLE SOUP this soup may or may not vegetables cooked in it just as you ym please when jely ready to serve eadd add noodles prepared in the following manner beat up an egg and add flour enough to make rather a stiff dough I 1 always put the merest pinch of yeast powder into the flour but it is not necessary roll out the dough into a very thin sheet sprinkle thickly with flour roll up like a sheet of paper or a music roll then with a a sharp kafe cut the roll roil into info slices if you have thoroughly floured the dough abo strips will fw falk apart uko a thread these should bo be cooked about ten tea minutes DUMPLINGS either vegetable or plain soup can be used for dumplings dump lings but it is better to have a a few potatoes if any as the dumplings dump lings thicken thic ksen the dump lifes gifts should be cooked tn in a close and aeu covered pot for a quarter of ail aft hour and then taken up at once the lid should not be lifted while they are

shut up the theima pat close and let it them cook you should serve them on a lare platter as it is hot gw good for them to lit be piled on onia on top of another this quantity is for a large family my friej friend used and I 1 dare say she does to this day to boil them in in salted water and serve arzi them up for dessert with cream and sugar and they make a very good dessert too try them DANISH OR CLARAS DUMPLINGS A good danish sister once brought me some of the most toothsome dumplings dump lings I 1 ever tasted and the other day my aunt made me some mo more they are real danish dumplings dump lings and if you yop like good things make some put about a t teacupful bac cupful OF of milk into a spider or saucepan when it boils thicken it with flour until it is like smooth mush take it up and add when cool a well beaten egg gg this can be set aside and used whenever you wish as it will keep for several days especially in the winter when ready for dumplings dump lings take this mixture out in a dessert spoon and put it in the soup it will come out the shape of an egg if you are careful in dipping it with the spoon and it is very delicious my danish friends sometimes adds spices such as
