And as -the best dinner can generally be preceded with advantage by a light -soup of some kind, to an ordinary, cold, or “picked-up” family dinner, -a plate of soup is an invaluable adjunct, and can be prepared in a few -minutes in a kitchen where the value of the stock pot is recognized, -and the economy of good cooking understood. - -Soup scientifically prepared is easier of digestion than almost -any other article of diet. The solid matter which enters into its -composition and would in the original form require several hours for -digestion, is so broken down in the process of preparation that it can -be readily assimilated with very little expenditure of vital force; and -being absorbed by the stomach as soon as eaten, goes immediately to -nourish the system. - -But soup to fulfill its true mission must be attractive in appearance, -agreeable in flavor and unmistakable in character. It must not be a -weak, sloppy, characterless compound, nor a crude, greasy, inharmonious -hodge-podge. The defects of unsavory, unpalatable, indigestible soups -may be concealed, but can not be removed by the excessive use of salt, -pepper and other spices and condiments. And in order that soup of any -kind may legitimately aspire to high rank, either as a nutritive or -hygienic agent, it must be skillfully prepared, so as to please the eye -and gratify the palate. - - - - -HOW TO MAKE SOUP STOCK. - - -A STOCK POT. - -Any ordinary pot or kettle can be used for preparing stock, but as a -“digester” or stock pot is one of the most useful utensils known to -the culinary art, and can be obtained at almost any hardware store, no -kitchen should be without one. The cook, who is provided with a stock -pot, and habitually uses it two or three times a week, can utilize all -available scraps, and generally has a supply of stock on hand from -which an acceptable soup, or delicious sauce can be improvised in a -short time, and with very little trouble. - -The stock pot should not remain on the stove or range, and fresh -material be added from time to time to that which is partly or wholly -cooked; but whenever a quantity of scraps accumulate they should be -carefully prepared and put to cook. - - -SOUP STOCK. - -A great many soups are made without the previous preparation of a -specially distinctive stock. But stock has as legitimate an existence -in soup making, as ferment has in bread making; and its recognition is -quite essential to a perfect understanding of the subject. Stock is the -base of soups. It is the fluid foundation with which other materials -are mixed, and skillfully incorporated into soups, that in modern bills -of fare are bewilderingly designated potages, purees, and consommes. - -Soup stock, in the strictest sense of the term, is the fluid extract of -meat or meat and bones, and is of two kinds:--simple and compound. - -SIMPLE stock is the extract from a single kind of flesh, fish or fowl. -COMPOUND stock is the extract from two or more kinds of flesh, fish or -fowl mingled and cooked together, or mixed together, after being cooked -separately. - - -HOW TO MAKE SOUP STOCK. - -To make stock, meats of any kind cut in small pieces, or meat and -bones well cut and broken, should be put in a pot in cold water -slightly salted, and the water heated very gradually until it reaches -the boiling point, after which it should be kept simmering gently -for a longer or shorter time, according to the nature and quantity -of the material used, and the consistency of the stock wanted. When -sufficiently cooked, it should be removed from the fire, strained into -a jar or bowl, and set in a cool place. - - -QUANTITY OF WATER. - -Authorities differ somewhat in regard to the quantity of water that -should be used in preparing stock and making soup. - -If the simmering is to continue six or eight hours, as some recommend, -a little more water is required than when it is to continue only half -that length of time. But as the correct proportions are about one -quart of water to each pound of meat and bones, it is absurd to use an -additional quantity of water, and waste time and material in reducing -the stock to the proper consistency by evaporation. - - -QUANTITY OF SALT. - -The principal object of using salted water in the preparation of stock, -is to facilitate the separation of the blood and slime from the meat. -The quantity of salt used should be regulated by the condition of the -meat, and in no case more than an ounce of salt to each gallon of water. - - -REMOVING THE SCUM. - -The blood and slime when thrown to the surface in the form of scum, -should be removed as rapidly as it rises. If permitted to remain after -the water reaches the boiling point, it will be speedily incorporated -with the stock, and injure its appearance and flavor. A little cold -water poured into the pot the moment it boils, will hasten the rising -of the scum. - - -SOAKING AND SIMMERING THE MEAT. - -The albumen of all meats, like the albumen or white of eggs, is curdled -and hardened by heat, but is readily soluble in cold water, and mixes -quietly with it; and when meat is put to cook in cold water, and soaked -until the water reaches the boiling point, and afterward permitted to -only simmer, all its juices are extracted, and mingled with the liquid -so perfectly as to greatly improve the flavor, and add to the nutritive -properties of the stock or soup. - - -QUALITY OF THE MEAT. - -The flavor of soup depends upon the quality of the materials of which -it is made. Tough and coarse pieces of meat, when the meat is of good -quality, make good soups and sauces, and can be converted into stock -advantageously, as can also a great many rough, refuse bits and scraps; -but it is very important that all meats of which stock is to be made, -should be cooked before they get tainted, or stale; in fact, the -fresher the meat, the better will be the quality of the stock made from -it. - - -BEEF TEA. - -Especial care should be observed in regard to the freshness of the meat -for beef tea, which comes under the generic name of soup, being merely -a plain soup stock. A cut from the round, on account of its juiciness, -is preferable, for beef tea. In preparing it, all skin and fat should -be removed, and the beef cut into small pieces. It should then be -covered with cold water, and allowed to soak for several hours, when -the water should be brought slowly to the boiling point. This tea is -not so nutritious as stock simmered for two or three hours, but is -believed by physicians to exercise a special tonic and exhilarating -influence upon the system independent of any directly nutritive quality -it may possess. - - -CONSISTENCY OF STOCK. - -The consistency of stock depends greatly upon the material used, and -the length of time it is cooked. Bones contain a large quantity of -gelatinous matter, and when equal portions of meat and bones are used, -the stock, when cold, will be quite stiff and gelatinous; and the -longer it is allowed to simmer, the more stiff and gelatinous it will -become. If meat alone is used, or if the stock is cooked but a short -time, it will remain in liquid form. - - -TIME REQUIRED FOR MAKING STOCK. - -When meat and bones are well cut and broken up, all their valuable -qualities will by proper soaking and simmering be extracted in two or -three hours; and although longer cooking will render the stock thicker -and more gelatinous, it is not advisable to continue it a greater -length of time, as the nutrition of soup depends very little, if at -all, upon the amount of gelatine it contains, and its flavor is injured -by too much cooking. - - -STRAINING, COOLING AND KEEPING STOCK. - -Stock, when sufficiently cooked, should be carefully strained, and -unless wanted for immediate use should be set where it will cool as -rapidly as possible. The quicker it cools the finer will be its flavor, -and the greater the length of time it can be kept. In cold weather -stock will keep fresh and sweet for several days; but in summer, unless -kept in a cold place, it will be necessary for its preservation, to put -it over the fire and bring it to a boil, or “scald it” every day. - - -SALTING STOCK. - -After stock has been strained and while still warm, all the salt that -will be needed in the soups or sauces to be prepared from it, can be -added with advantage, as it becomes thoroughly incorporated with the -stock and aids in its preservation. - - -COOKING VEGETABLES IN STOCK. - -Many cook books recommend putting vegetables into the stock pot with -the meat and cooking them the same length of time. But as vegetables -that are cooked several hours with meat are apt to give the stock -a rank taste, and also to cause it to ferment in a short time in -warm weather, such a method is objectionable in making stock. Where -economy is a prominent consideration, or where the stock is to be used -immediately in soup, it is perhaps as well to simmer the meat and -vegetables together a sufficient length of time to extract all their -flavor and nutriment. - - - - -CLASSIFICATION OF SOUPS. - - -After the stock has been properly made there is comparatively little -trouble attending the preparation of any kind of soup desired; and it -may be proceeded with at once, by the addition of spices, vegetables -and other articles, or may be postponed till another day, and for -another occasion. - -The variety of soups is illimitable and can be increased almost -indefinitely, as it requires but a new combination of materials to -entitle a soup to a distinctive name, and as grotesque a one as its -originator may choose to bestow upon it. - -All soups, however, can be classified and arranged under five heads, -viz.: - - 1. Plain soup. - 2. Clear soup. - 3. Vegetable soup. - 4. White soup. - 5. Mixed soup. - -To one or the other of these divisions everything in the nature of -soup belongs; and a little intelligent thought will enable the cook -to select the materials adapted to, and appropriate for use in each -division. - - -FLAVOR AND COLOR OF SOUP. - -The flavor of the solid material, either animal or vegetable from -which a soup takes its name, should always predominate when the soup -is served, and only such spices should be added in its preparation as -have a tendency to bring out, and perfectly develop the flavor of the -dominant article. - -This proposition holds good, and should be conformed to also, in regard -to the color; so far, at least, as to prohibit the introduction of -dark colored vegetables, spices, etc., into light colored soups. - - -REMOVING THE GREASE. - -Before using stock for soup, the first thing to be done is to remove -from it all superfluous grease. When it is to be used without being -permitted to cool, a little cold water poured into it as soon as -strained, will cause the grease to rise to the surface so it can be -skimmed off without difficulty. If it is set aside till cold, the -grease will form in a cake on the top of the stock, and can be taken -off when convenient, but, as it excludes the air, it is better to let -it remain till the stock is needed. - - -CLASS ONE. - - -PLAIN SOUPS. - -Plain soup, in its strictest sense, is either simple or compound stock -seasoned with salt, or with salt and pepper. The addition of some -of the grains or grain products, generally improves the flavor and -increases the nutritive value of any simple soup or broth, but does -not take it out of the category of plain soup. - -Prominent among, and strikingly illustrative of this class of soups, is - - -PLAIN CHICKEN SOUP. - -The flesh of the fowl from which the stock is to be made, should, with -the exception of the breast, be cut into small pieces, and the bones -broken. The breast, with the skin as perfect as possible, should be -placed in the pot whole, on top of the prepared material, and removed -as soon as tender. To each quart of stock, when strained and skimmed, -add an ounce of rice, and let simmer three-quarters of an hour, then -add the breast of the chicken, cut in dice, a little minced parsley, -and salt and pepper to taste. Plain chicken soup is much improved if -about a pound of round steak be cut up and cooked with the fowl. - -To this soup add a pint of sweet cream, thicken with flour, and flavor -highly with celery, and the product will be a much admired white -soup--cream of celery soup;--or if the celery and cream be omitted, the -addition of half a teaspoonful of curry powder will transform it into a -choice Mulligatawny soup. - - -CLASS TWO. - - -CLEAR SOUPS. - -Clear soup is made from simple or compound stock, by straining and -clarifying. It can be seasoned with salt, pepper and other condiments, -or with salt and pepper alone. In the preparation of clear soups, -herbs, spices and vegetables are frequently cooked with the stock, and -strained out, and the soup then clarified. All soups that are made with -a foundation of clarified stock, or that have clear soup for a base, -can be thickened with arrow root, corn starch and similar articles, or -flavored with various vegetables, cereals, etc., without losing their -distinctive name or character, provided care be taken to use only such -articles as will not injure the clearness of the soup. As excellent -illustrations of this class of soups take-- - - -_No. 1._--AMBER SOUP. - -Put a gill each of sliced onion, carrot, turnip and parsnip, fried to a -delicate brown, together with the bits of ham or bacon with which they -were fried, into a soup kettle; add to them a sprig each of parsley -and thyme, half a bay leaf, two cloves, five pepper corns, and cover -with five quarts of plain or compound stock. Simmer gently for an hour, -strain, remove the grease, and clarify. Heat to boiling point, season -with salt and pepper, add a tablespoonful of caramel and serve. If -properly made, and carefully strained and clarified, this soup will be -as transparent as amber. - - -_No. 2._--TOMATO SOUP. - -To four quarts of clear soup, add a quart of strained stewed tomato, a -teaspoonful of sugar, a tablespoonful each of corn starch and butter -stirred together, and salt and pepper to taste. Boil a few minutes and -serve. - - -_No. 3._--JULIENNE SOUP. - -To four quarts of clear soup, add a gill each of carrot, parsnip, -turnip, celery, string beans, core of lettuce, and a small onion, cut -into thin pieces about an inch in length, and simmer gently until all -the vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and -ten or fifteen minutes before serving the soup, put into it a few -water cresses or some sorrel leaves. If all the vegetables are not -readily obtainable, one or more of them can be omitted without serious -detriment to either the flavor or title of the soup. - - -CLASS THREE. - - -VEGETABLE SOUPS. - -Vegetable soup is made by cooking vegetables in either simple or -compound stock; or a special stock may be prepared by adding water -or milk to the juice extracted from vegetables. A vegetable soup -may contain but a single vegetable; or it may contain a variety of -vegetables, and be of any color desired. The vegetables may be cooked -a longer or shorter time, and left in, or strained out of the soup -according to taste or fancy. - - -_No. 1._--PLAIN VEGETABLE SOUP. - -To three quarts of stock add a gill each of sliced carrot, turnip, -parsnip and onion, and simmer gently till tender. Half an hour before -serving, add a stalk of celery cut in small pieces, or two or three -sprigs of parsley. Season with salt and pepper. - -A number of plain vegetable soups quite different in character can -be very readily compounded by using a greater or smaller variety of -vegetables, or by adapting the combination to the season and the -appetite. - - -_No. 2._--ONION SOUP. - -Fry in an ounce of butter or clarified drippings, till a light brown, -two or three large onions sliced thin; then add two ounces of flour -and stir till about the same color. Mix thoroughly with a pint of cold -stock, place over the fire in a soup kettle, and when it comes to a -boil pour in a quart of boiling milk into which three boiled potatoes, -mashed to a smooth paste have been stirred. Season with salt and pepper -and serve hot. Water can be used instead of stock in this soup, if more -convenient, and the soup still be delicious. - - -_No. 3._--DRIED PEA SOUP. - -Soak for several hours, or over night, a pint of dried peas in two -quarts of cold water. Drain and put to cook in four quarts of cold -water, with a quarter of a pound of breakfast bacon or salt pork, -fried to a light brown. As soon as the water boils skim carefully, -cover closely and let simmer gently three or four hours, or until the -peas are very tender. Strain and return the soup to the kettle, add -a teaspoonful of sugar, two quarts of stock, and, when boiling, a -tablespoonful each of flour and butter. Season with salt and pepper, -and serve with toasted bread cut in dice. - -Pea soup can be made in this manner without the bacon or pork, in which -case it is advisable to use a cup of sweet cream instead of the butter, -and to season delicately with celery. Sweet corn is a very desirable -mixture for pea soup, and sugar may be dispensed with when it is used. -The addition of a little crushed spinach juice will convert this into a -nice green pea soup. - -If the spinach juice be omitted, and a cup of dark rich gravy, -a spoonful of caramel, and a flavoring of herbs and spices be -substituted, the entire character of the soup will be so changed that -it must be transferred to the list of mixed soups. - - -CLASS FOUR. - - -WHITE SOUPS. - -Veal, chicken, fish, oysters and other shell fish furnish the stock for -most white soups, and cream or milk enters largely into the composition -of many of them. One of the leading characteristics of white soups is -the prohibition of everything that has a tendency to color; hence, -comparatively few vegetables, herbs and spices are legitimately -permissible in their composition as seasoning and flavoring. With -certain restrictions, however, a greater number can occasionally -be introduced with appropriateness, and sometimes be given even a -prominent place. - -An illustration is furnished in - - -_No. 1._--CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP. - -Cut off, about an inch in length, the points of two bunches of -asparagus, and simmer them gently until tender in water sufficient to -cover them, to which a teaspoonful of salt has been added. Boil the -stalks of the asparagus twenty minutes in three pints of white stock -or water, then strain and thicken the liquid with a tablespoonful of -flour, let it boil two minutes, and add a pint of sweet cream and the -asparagus points with the water in which they were cooked. Season with -salt and pepper, and serve hot. - - -_No. 2._--CORN SOUP. - -A delicious white soup can be made by simmering a pint of sweet corn -in a quart of white stock for fifteen minutes, then adding a quart of -boiling milk and a small piece of butter, and seasoning with salt and -pepper. - - -_No. 3._--A RICH WHITE SOUP. - -Simmer for an hour in three quarts of white stock a gill each of white -turnip, onion and celery cut in small pieces, together with a blade of -mace. Strain, thicken with two ounces of flour, boil two minutes, add -half a pint of sweet cream and season with salt and pepper. When about -to boil stir in the well beaten yolks of three eggs, and serve. - - -CLASS FIVE. - - -MIXED SOUPS. - -Delicacy in seasoning and flavoring is pre-eminently the distinguishing -mark of a fine soup of any kind; but to mix, mingle and combine many -different articles of food so as to produce a soup whose flavor is -distinct from any single ingredient entering into its composition, yet -embodying the best qualities of each, is the true criterion of merit in -a mixed soup. - -Nearly all soups are in a certain sense mixed soups; but plain, clear, -vegetable and white soups, have distinctive characteristics by which -they can be recognized, and their genuineness established, while the -individuality of a mixed soup must be evolved from the harmonious -adjustment of seemingly discordant materials, and depends in a great -measure upon the good judgment, discriminating taste and artistic skill -of the person who prepares it. - -An illustration of a mixed soup that can not be placed under any other -division is - - -_No. 1._--MOCK TURTLE SOUP. - -Ingredients: - -A calf’s head, a beef soup bone, five quarts cold water, one onion, -one turnip, one carrot, one half stalk celery, one half bunch parsley, -one bay leaf, one lemon, five cloves, ten allspice, ten pepper corns, -one fourth nutmeg, two teaspoons of salt, a little cayenne pepper, two -ounces butter, one ounce flour--a glass of wine to each quart of soup. - -Put the head after removing the brains with the spices in the soup -kettle, and cover with three quarts of cold water to which half a -teaspoonful of salt has been added. - -When it boils skim carefully and let simmer four or five hours, -removing the meat as soon as tender. Strain and set aside till next -day. Put the beef bone and vegetables in the soup kettle and cover -with two quarts of cold water to which half a teaspoonful of salt has -been added, and simmer four hours, removing the scum as it rises. Soak -the brains in cold salt water an hour, tie in a linen cloth and boil -gently twenty minutes in salted water. Plunge an instant in cold water -to render white and firm. Cook two ounces butter and one ounce of flour -in a sauce pan till very brown. Put both soup stocks together in the -kettle, after all grease and settlings have been removed, also the meat -from the head cut in small dice, and the yolks of a dozen hard boiled -eggs, and when it boils add the brains cut in small pieces. Put the -lemon, cut in thin slices, in a heated tureen, with a gill of wine for -each quart of soup; pour the boiling soup on them, and serve. - - -_No. 2._--SAVE-ALL SOUP. - -Collect the scraps left from breakfast and dinner, for instance, a half -pint of soup, a gill of gravy, a half pint of mashed turnip or potato, -a little macaroni cooked with cheese, a sour baked apple or broiled -chop or steak, etc., etc.; put them in the stock pot or soup kettle -with sufficient cold water, simmer for an hour, removing any scum that -rises, then strain and set aside. Next day remove the grease, put the -soup to cook, and when it boils, season with salt and pepper, and if it -seems to need other seasoning add a pinch Of thyme, or celery seed, or -a teaspoonful of sugar. It is sometimes well to put half a bay leaf and -two or three cloves in the kettle with the scraps. The flavorings and -spices required in a mixed soup of this description depend greatly upon -the nature of the scraps used. If they are mostly light and delicate, -thyme, mace, celery, or parsley can be added; if dark and heavy, -cloves, bay leaf, sweet marjoram or a little Worcestershire sauce, -or walnut or other catsup can be used more appropriately. Sometimes -an ounce each of butter and flour cooked together in a saucepan till -browned, and then added to the soup, give it the very thing it lacks; -or it may be that the flour stirred with a gill of cold sweet cream is -what is needed to make it a perfect soup. - -To select and harmonize the materials for a mixed soup is one of the -best evidences of culinary capacity; and the cook who can do this -successfully, is qualified to prepare a soup of the most complex as -well as one of the simplest character, without regard to its name or -class. - - -OYSTER SOUPS. - -These all belong to the white soup class, but they occupy so anomalous -a position--an oyster soup being simply an oyster stew with additional -liquid, and a thickening of flour--that they deserve special mention. - - -TO STEW OYSTERS.--_No. 1._ - -Rinse a quart of oysters in cold water, drain through a sieve. Put a -piece of butter the size of an egg in a stew pan, and when melted add a -pint of milk and let it come to a boil; add the oysters, and the moment -the edges curl remove from the fire; season with salt and pepper. Serve -with small crackers, or on thin slices of buttered toast. - - -TO STEW OYSTERS.--_No. 2._ - -Pour a pint of cold water over a quart of oysters, stir well and drain; -put the liquor in a stew pan greased with butter; when it boils, skim, -add the oysters, season to taste with butter, salt and pepper, and cook -and serve as in No. 1. - -In changing an oyster stew to a soup, the thickening and extra liquid -should be added and cooked before the oysters are put into it. - - -POTAGES, PUREES AND CONSOMMES. - -These are French terms used to designate different kinds of soups; -but they are applied so indiscriminately as to possess very little -significance, even for culinary adepts; and the dividing line between -a potage, a puree, a consomme, and an ordinary soup, is so imaginary -as to be indistinct to plain every-day people. But as a foreign or -grotesque name does not detract from the quality of a good thing, -those who prefer to call a soup a potage, a puree or a consomme, can -do so with impunity, and not legally infringe on the domain of any -professional cook. - - -HOW TO SCALD SOUP. - -To scald stock or soup properly, it must be brought to the boiling -point and thoroughly heated. Its liability to ferment and grow sour is -only increased by merely re-warming it. - - -WHEN TO ADD FLAVORING. - -Vegetables when used merely to flavor soups should be simmered only -long enough to extract their juices; and aromatic spices, orange and -lemon juice, and other liquid flavorings whose subtle essences are -driven off by heat, should be added barely a sufficient length of time -before the soup is served, for them to blend and harmonize with the -other materials--in fact it is usually better to put them in the tureen -and pour the soup over them just before it goes to the table. - - -ORDER OF ADDING VEGETABLES. - -Where several kinds of vegetables are used in the preparation of a -soup, care should be taken to put those that require most cooking in -the kettle first; and, if possible, to limit the simmering of each kind -to the time actually necessary to cook it tender. - - -BROWNING VEGETABLES. - -Breakfast bacon and ham give a peculiarly fine flavor to many soups, -and when they are used the vegetables added to such soups should be -browned in the fryings of the meat; but when neither bacon nor ham is -used, the vegetables should be browned in butter, as in most cases -they impart a richer flavor to the soup, if nicely browned in a little -grease before being added. - - -VEGETABLES, ETC., ADAPTED TO SOUPS. - -While nearly all kinds of vegetables, herbs, spices and cereals can be -appropriately used at pleasure in clear, vegetable and mixed soups, -those specially adapted to white soups are: cauliflower, potato, white -turnip, onion, celery, salsify, cresses, capers, olives, parsley, -thyme, rice, macaroni, vermicelli, tapioca, sago, mace, and red and -white pepper. - - -TO CLARIFY SOUPS. - -To each gallon of soup add, while cold, the whites and shells of two -eggs beaten with a little cold water, simmer for fifteen minutes, -removing the scum as it rises, and then strain through a flannel cloth -or bag. - - -CARAMEL. - -Preparations for coloring and flavoring soups can be obtained at -almost any grocery by those who wish to use them. But caramel, which -is innocent and cheap, is one of the best coloring materials, and is -easily prepared:-- - -Stir half a pound of sugar and a spoonful of water in a saucepan over -the fire till a bright brown, then add half a pint of water, boil -a few minutes and strain. Caramel made in this manner will keep a -considerable length of time if put in an air-tight jar or bottle. - - -THICKENING FOR SOUPS. - -When flour, corn starch, farina or arrow root are to be used as -thickening for soups they should be stirred to a smooth paste with cold -milk, cream, or butter, and then added to the boiling soup. If the -flour is desired brown it should be cooked with butter before it is -added to the soup. - - -ADDITIONS TO SOUPS. - -Eggs cooked in a variety of ways, croutons, noodles, dumplings, force -meat balls, and a dozen other articles that are manufactured for the -purpose, are used according to fancy as additions to soups. Some of -them are cooked in the soup and served with it, and some are cooked -separate and put in the tureen or the individual plates, and the soup -poured over them. - - -CROUTONS. - -A bit of toasted or fried bread is called in French a crouton; and -croutons, which are simply bits of bread toasted or fried brown, -are very nice in a variety of soups. The bread can be toasted in the -ordinary way and used dry, or it can be buttered, cut in dice and -toasted brown in the oven, or fried brown in butter or drippings. The -best way of serving croutons is to put a spoonful of them in each plate -and pour the hot soup over them. - - -NOODLES. - -The noodle is one of the traditional articles for serving in soups. It -is a general favorite and is easily made: - -To three eggs, two tablespoonfuls of water, and a pinch of salt, add -flour enough to make a stiff dough. Work and knead fifteen or twenty -minutes, roll to a very thin sheet, dust lightly and evenly with flour, -and roll up compactly. Then with a thin sharp bladed knife cut into -very thin slices and let dry for a couple of hours before putting in -the soup. They will cook in five minutes. Or, - -Beat an egg very light, add flour until stiff enough to roll into -little crumbs the size of wheat or rice grains, drop into boiling soup -and cook a few minutes. - - -DUMPLINGS. - -A very delicate dumpling for soup can be made of biscuit dough, raised -with either yeast or baking powder, in this manner: roll the dough -thin, cut into dice, roll under the hand on a floured board, and steam -for twenty minutes; put in the tureen and pour boiling soup over them. - -But the most delicate of dumplings are made of light bread crumbs, suet -or marrow, egg and seasoning. These can be varied in seasoning to suit -any soup. This is a good combination for a clear, white or delicate -soup of any kind. Mix well, but lightly, a tablespoonful uncooked beef -marrow and half a pint bread crumbs, seasoned with salt, pepper, grated -lemon peel and mace; add one well beaten egg, roll into balls in the -hands, and drop into the boiling soup. They should be served as soon as -they rise to the surface. - - -FORCE MEAT BALLS. - -To four parts cooked veal, and one part suet minced together, add four -parts bread crumbs and season with salt, pepper, powdered cloves and -sweet herbs. Bind together with beaten egg, make into small balls and -fry brown. These are much used in mock turtle and other heavy soups. - - - - -SOUP AND SOUP MAKING QUESTIONS. - - -1.--What is a stock pot? - -2.--How should it be used and how frequently? - -3.--What is soup stock? - -4.--How many kinds of stock are there? - -5.--What is simple stock? - -6.--What is compound stock? - -7.--How is stock made? - -8.--Why should the water for making stock be salted? - -9.--How much salt should be used? - -10.--Why should the scum that rises be removed? - -11.--Why should meat for making stock be put to cook in cold water? - -12.--Why should meat for soup be simmered rather than boiled? - -13.--What should be the quality of the meat for making stock or soup? - -14.--What is beef tea and how is it made? - -15.--Upon what does the consistency of stock depend? - -16.--What length of time should stock be simmered? - -17.--When sufficiently cooked how should it be treated? - -18.--How long will stock keep? - -19.--Should vegetables be cooked with meat in making stock?

And as the best dinner can -generally be preceded with advantage by a light -soup of some kind, to an ordinary, cold, or “picked-up” -family dinner, a plate of soup is an invaluable -adjunct, and can be prepared in a few minutes in -a kitchen where the value of the stock pot is recognized, -and the economy of good cooking understood.</p> - -<p>Soup scientifically prepared is easier of digestion -than almost any other article of diet. The solid -matter which enters into its composition and -would in the original form require several hours -for digestion, is so broken down in the process of -preparation that it can be readily assimilated with -very little expenditure of vital force; and being -absorbed by the stomach as soon as eaten, goes immediately -to nourish the system.</p> - -<p>But soup to fulfill its true mission must be attractive -in appearance, agreeable in flavor and unmistakable -in character. It must not be a weak, -sloppy, characterless compound, nor a crude, -greasy, inharmonious hodge-podge. The defects -of unsavory, unpalatable, indigestible soups may<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_9"></a>[9]</span> -be concealed, but can not be removed by the excessive -use of salt, pepper and other spices and condiments. -And in order that soup of any kind may -legitimately aspire to high rank, either as a nutritive -or hygienic agent, it must be skillfully prepared, -so as to please the eye and gratify the -palate.</p> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<h2 class="nobreak">HOW TO MAKE SOUP STOCK.</h2> -</div> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">A STOCK POT.</span></h3> - -<p>Any ordinary pot or kettle can be used for preparing -stock, but as a “digester” or stock pot is -one of the most useful utensils known to the culinary -art, and can be obtained at almost any hardware -store, no kitchen should be without one. -The cook, who is provided with a stock pot, and -habitually uses it two or three times a week, can -utilize all available scraps, and generally has a -supply of stock on hand from which an acceptable -soup, or delicious sauce can be improvised in a -short time, and with very little trouble.</p> - - - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_10"></a>[10]</span>The stock pot should not remain on the stove or -range, and fresh material be added from time to -time to that which is partly or wholly cooked; but -whenever a quantity of scraps accumulate they -should be carefully prepared and put to cook.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">SOUP STOCK.</span></h3> - -<p>A great many soups are made without the previous -preparation of a specially distinctive stock. -But stock has as legitimate an existence in soup -making, as ferment has in bread making; and its -recognition is quite essential to a perfect understanding -of the subject. Stock is the base of soups. -It is the fluid foundation with which other materials -are mixed, and skillfully incorporated into soups, -that in modern bills of fare are bewilderingly designated -potages, purees, and consommes.</p> - -<p>Soup stock, in the strictest sense of the term, is -the fluid extract of meat or meat and bones, and is -of two kinds:—simple and compound.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Simple</span> stock is the extract from a single kind of -flesh, fish or fowl. <span class="smcap">Compound</span> stock is the extract -from two or more kinds of flesh, fish or fowl mingled -and cooked together, or mixed together, after -being cooked separately.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_11"></a>[11]</span></p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">HOW TO MAKE SOUP STOCK.</span></h3> - -<p>To make stock, meats of any kind cut in small -pieces, or meat and bones well cut and broken, -should be put in a pot in cold water slightly salted, -and the water heated very gradually until it -reaches the boiling point, after which it should be -kept simmering gently for a longer or shorter time, -according to the nature and quantity of the material -used, and the consistency of the stock wanted. -When sufficiently cooked, it should be removed -from the fire, strained into a jar or bowl, and set -in a cool place.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">QUANTITY OF WATER.</span></h3> - -<p>Authorities differ somewhat in regard to the -quantity of water that should be used in preparing -stock and making soup.</p> - -<p>If the simmering is to continue six or eight -hours, as some recommend, a little more water is -required than when it is to continue only half that -length of time. But as the correct proportions are -about one quart of water to each pound of meat -and bones, it is absurd to use an additional quantity -of water, and waste time and material in reducing -the stock to the proper consistency by evaporation.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_12"></a>[12]</span></p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">QUANTITY OF SALT.</span></h3> - -<p>The principal object of using salted water in the -preparation of stock, is to facilitate the separation -of the blood and slime from the meat. The quantity -of salt used should be regulated by the condition -of the meat, and in no case more than an -ounce of salt to each gallon of water.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">REMOVING THE SCUM.</span></h3> - -<p>The blood and slime when thrown to the surface -in the form of scum, should be removed as rapidly -as it rises. If permitted to remain after the -water reaches the boiling point, it will be speedily -incorporated with the stock, and injure its appearance -and flavor. A little cold water poured into -the pot the moment it boils, will hasten the rising -of the scum.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">SOAKING AND SIMMERING THE MEAT.</span></h3> - -<p>The albumen of all meats, like the albumen or -white of eggs, is curdled and hardened by heat, -but is readily soluble in cold water, and mixes -quietly with it; and when meat is put to cook in -cold water, and soaked until the water reaches the -boiling point, and afterward permitted to only simmer,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_13"></a>[13]</span> -all its juices are extracted, and mingled with -the liquid so perfectly as to greatly improve the -flavor, and add to the nutritive properties of the -stock or soup.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">QUALITY OF THE MEAT.</span></h3> - -<p>The flavor of soup depends upon the quality of -the materials of which it is made. Tough and -coarse pieces of meat, when the meat is of good -quality, make good soups and sauces, and can be -converted into stock advantageously, as can also a -great many rough, refuse bits and scraps; but it is -very important that all meats of which stock is to -be made, should be cooked before they get tainted, -or stale; in fact, the fresher the meat, the better -will be the quality of the stock made from it.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">BEEF TEA.</span></h3> - -<p>Especial care should be observed in regard to the -freshness of the meat for beef tea, which comes -under the generic name of soup, being merely a -plain soup stock. A cut from the round, on account -of its juiciness, is preferable, for beef tea. In -preparing it, all skin and fat should be removed, -and the beef cut into small pieces. It should then -be covered with cold water, and allowed to soak for<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_14"></a>[14]</span> -several hours, when the water should be brought -slowly to the boiling point. This tea is not so nutritious -as stock simmered for two or three hours, -but is believed by physicians to exercise a special -tonic and exhilarating influence upon the system -independent of any directly nutritive quality it may -possess.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">CONSISTENCY OF STOCK.</span></h3> - -<p>The consistency of stock depends greatly upon -the material used, and the length of time it is -cooked. Bones contain a large quantity of gelatinous -matter, and when equal portions of meat and -bones are used, the stock, when cold, will be quite -stiff and gelatinous; and the longer it is allowed to -simmer, the more stiff and gelatinous it will become. -If meat alone is used, or if the stock is -cooked but a short time, it will remain in liquid -form.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">TIME REQUIRED FOR MAKING STOCK.</span></h3> - -<p>When meat and bones are well cut and broken -up, all their valuable qualities will by proper soaking -and simmering be extracted in two or three -hours; and although longer cooking will render the -stock thicker and more gelatinous, it is not advisable<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_15"></a>[15]</span> -to continue it a greater length of time, as the -nutrition of soup depends very little, if at all, upon -the amount of gelatine it contains, and its flavor -is injured by too much cooking.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">STRAINING, COOLING AND KEEPING STOCK.</span></h3> - -<p>Stock, when sufficiently cooked, should be carefully -strained, and unless wanted for immediate -use should be set where it will cool as rapidly as -possible. The quicker it cools the finer will be its -flavor, and the greater the length of time it can be -kept. In cold weather stock will keep fresh and -sweet for several days; but in summer, unless kept -in a cold place, it will be necessary for its preservation, -to put it over the fire and bring it to a boil, -or “scald it” every day.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">SALTING STOCK.</span></h3> - -<p>After stock has been strained and while still -warm, all the salt that will be needed in the soups -or sauces to be prepared from it, can be added with -advantage, as it becomes thoroughly incorporated -with the stock and aids in its preservation.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">COOKING VEGETABLES IN STOCK.</span></h3> - -<p>Many cook books recommend putting vegetables -into the stock pot with the meat and cooking them<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_16"></a>[16]</span> -the same length of time. But as vegetables that are -cooked several hours with meat are apt to give -the stock a rank taste, and also to cause it to ferment -in a short time in warm weather, such a -method is objectionable in making stock. Where -economy is a prominent consideration, or where -the stock is to be used immediately in soup, it is -perhaps as well to simmer the meat and vegetables -together a sufficient length of time to extract all -their flavor and nutriment.</p> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<h2 class="nobreak">CLASSIFICATION OF SOUPS.</h2> -</div> - - -<p>After the stock has been properly made there is -comparatively little trouble attending the preparation -of any kind of soup desired; and it may be -proceeded with at once, by the addition of spices, -vegetables and other articles, or may be postponed -till another day, and for another occasion.</p> - -<p>The variety of soups is illimitable and can be -increased almost indefinitely, as it requires but a<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_17"></a>[17]</span> -new combination of materials to entitle a soup to -a distinctive name, and as grotesque a one as its -originator may choose to bestow upon it.</p> - -<p>All soups, however, can be classified and arranged -under five heads, viz.:</p> - - -<div class="blockquot"> -<p> -1. Plain soup.<br /> -2. Clear soup.<br /> -3. Vegetable soup.<br /> -4. White soup.<br /> -5. Mixed soup.</p> -</div> - -<p>To one or the other of these divisions everything -in the nature of soup belongs; and a little -intelligent thought will enable the cook to select -the materials adapted to, and appropriate for use in -each division.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">FLAVOR AND COLOR OF SOUP.</span></h3> - -<p>The flavor of the solid material, either animal or -vegetable from which a soup takes its name, should -always predominate when the soup is served, and -only such spices should be added in its preparation -as have a tendency to bring out, and perfectly -develop the flavor of the dominant article.</p> - -<p>This proposition holds good, and should be conformed -to also, in regard to the color; so far, at<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_18"></a>[18]</span> -least, as to prohibit the introduction of dark colored -vegetables, spices, etc., into light colored -soups.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">REMOVING THE GREASE.</span></h3> - -<p>Before using stock for soup, the first thing to be -done is to remove from it all superfluous grease. -When it is to be used without being permitted to -cool, a little cold water poured into it as soon as -strained, will cause the grease to rise to the surface -so it can be skimmed off without difficulty. If it -is set aside till cold, the grease will form in a cake -on the top of the stock, and can be taken off when -convenient, but, as it excludes the air, it is better -to let it remain till the stock is needed.</p> - - -<h3>CLASS ONE.</h3> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">PLAIN SOUPS.</span></h4> - -<p>Plain soup, in its strictest sense, is either simple -or compound stock seasoned with salt, or with salt -and pepper. The addition of some of the grains or -grain products, generally improves the flavor and -increases the nutritive value of any simple soup or<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_19"></a>[19]</span> -broth, but does not take it out of the category of -plain soup.</p> - -<p>Prominent among, and strikingly illustrative of -this class of soups, is</p> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">PLAIN CHICKEN SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>The flesh of the fowl from which the stock is to be -made, should, with the exception of the breast, be -cut into small pieces, and the bones broken. The -breast, with the skin as perfect as possible, should -be placed in the pot whole, on top of the prepared -material, and removed as soon as tender. To each -quart of stock, when strained and skimmed, add an -ounce of rice, and let simmer three-quarters of an -hour, then add the breast of the chicken, cut in -dice, a little minced parsley, and salt and pepper -to taste. Plain chicken soup is much improved if -about a pound of round steak be cut up and cooked -with the fowl.</p> - -<p>To this soup add a pint of sweet cream, thicken -with flour, and flavor highly with celery, and the -product will be a much admired white soup—cream -of celery soup;—or if the celery and cream -be omitted, the addition of half a teaspoonful of -curry powder will transform it into a choice Mulligatawny -soup.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_20"></a>[20]</span></p> - - -<h3>CLASS TWO.</h3> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">CLEAR SOUPS.</span></h4> - -<p>Clear soup is made from simple or compound -stock, by straining and clarifying. It can be seasoned -with salt, pepper and other condiments, or -with salt and pepper alone. In the preparation of -clear soups, herbs, spices and vegetables are frequently -cooked with the stock, and strained out, -and the soup then clarified. All soups that are -made with a foundation of clarified stock, or that -have clear soup for a base, can be thickened with -arrow root, corn starch and similar articles, or -flavored with various vegetables, cereals, etc., without -losing their distinctive name or character, provided -care be taken to use only such articles as will -not injure the clearness of the soup. As excellent -illustrations of this class of soups take—</p> - - -<h4><i>No. 1.</i>—<span class="allsmcap">AMBER SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>Put a gill each of sliced onion, carrot, turnip -and parsnip, fried to a delicate brown, together -with the bits of ham or bacon with which they -were fried, into a soup kettle; add to them a sprig -each of parsley and thyme, half a bay leaf, two<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_21"></a>[21]</span> -cloves, five pepper corns, and cover with five quarts -of plain or compound stock. Simmer gently for -an hour, strain, remove the grease, and clarify. -Heat to boiling point, season with salt and pepper, -add a tablespoonful of caramel and serve. If properly -made, and carefully strained and clarified, this -soup will be as transparent as amber.</p> - - -<h4><i>No. 2.</i>—<span class="allsmcap">TOMATO SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>To four quarts of clear soup, add a quart of -strained stewed tomato, a teaspoonful of sugar, a -tablespoonful each of corn starch and butter stirred -together, and salt and pepper to taste. Boil a few -minutes and serve.</p> - - -<h4><i>No. 3.</i>—<span class="allsmcap">JULIENNE SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>To four quarts of clear soup, add a gill each of -carrot, parsnip, turnip, celery, string beans, core of -lettuce, and a small onion, cut into thin pieces -about an inch in length, and simmer gently until -all the vegetables are tender. Season to taste with -salt and pepper, and ten or fifteen minutes before -serving the soup, put into it a few water cresses or -some sorrel leaves. If all the vegetables are not -readily obtainable, one or more of them can be -omitted without serious detriment to either the -flavor or title of the soup.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_22"></a>[22]</span></p> - - -<h3>CLASS THREE.</h3> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">VEGETABLE SOUPS.</span></h4> - -<p>Vegetable soup is made by cooking vegetables in -either simple or compound stock; or a special stock -may be prepared by adding water or milk to the -juice extracted from vegetables. A vegetable soup -may contain but a single vegetable; or it may contain -a variety of vegetables, and be of any color desired. -The vegetables may be cooked a longer or -shorter time, and left in, or strained out of the -soup according to taste or fancy.</p> - - -<h4><i>No. 1.</i>—<span class="allsmcap">PLAIN VEGETABLE SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>To three quarts of stock add a gill each of sliced -carrot, turnip, parsnip and onion, and simmer gently -till tender. Half an hour before serving, add -a stalk of celery cut in small pieces, or two or three -sprigs of parsley. Season with salt and pepper.</p> - -<p>A number of plain vegetable soups quite different -in character can be very readily compounded -by using a greater or smaller variety of vegetables, -or by adapting the combination to the season and -the appetite.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_23"></a>[23]</span></p> - - -<h4><i>No. 2.</i>—<span class="allsmcap">ONION SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>Fry in an ounce of butter or clarified drippings, -till a light brown, two or three large onions sliced -thin; then add two ounces of flour and stir till -about the same color. Mix thoroughly with a -pint of cold stock, place over the fire in a soup -kettle, and when it comes to a boil pour in a quart -of boiling milk into which three boiled potatoes, -mashed to a smooth paste have been stirred. Season -with salt and pepper and serve hot. Water can be -used instead of stock in this soup, if more convenient, -and the soup still be delicious.</p> - - -<h4><i>No. 3.</i>—<span class="allsmcap">DRIED PEA SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>Soak for several hours, or over night, a pint of -dried peas in two quarts of cold water. Drain and -put to cook in four quarts of cold water, with a -quarter of a pound of breakfast bacon or salt pork, -fried to a light brown. As soon as the water boils -skim carefully, cover closely and let simmer gently -three or four hours, or until the peas are very tender. -Strain and return the soup to the kettle, add -a teaspoonful of sugar, two quarts of stock, and, -when boiling, a tablespoonful each of flour and -butter. Season with salt and pepper, and serve -with toasted bread cut in dice.</p> - - - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_24"></a>[24]</span>Pea soup can be made in this manner without -the bacon or pork, in which case it is advisable to -use a cup of sweet cream instead of the butter, and -to season delicately with celery. Sweet corn is a -very desirable mixture for pea soup, and sugar -may be dispensed with when it is used. The addition -of a little crushed spinach juice will convert -this into a nice green pea soup.</p> - -<p>If the spinach juice be omitted, and a cup of dark -rich gravy, a spoonful of caramel, and a flavoring -of herbs and spices be substituted, the entire character -of the soup will be so changed that it must -be transferred to the list of mixed soups.</p> - - -<h3>CLASS FOUR.</h3> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">WHITE SOUPS.</span></h4> - -<p>Veal, chicken, fish, oysters and other shell fish -furnish the stock for most white soups, and cream -or milk enters largely into the composition of -many of them. One of the leading characteristics -of white soups is the prohibition of everything -that has a tendency to color; hence, comparatively<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_25"></a>[25]</span> -few vegetables, herbs and spices are legitimately -permissible in their composition as seasoning and -flavoring. With certain restrictions, however, a -greater number can occasionally be introduced -with appropriateness, and sometimes be given even -a prominent place.</p> - -<p>An illustration is furnished in</p> - - -<h4><i>No. 1.</i>—<span class="allsmcap">CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>Cut off, about an inch in length, the points of -two bunches of asparagus, and simmer them gently -until tender in water sufficient to cover them, to -which a teaspoonful of salt has been added.

Strain and set aside till next day. Put -the beef bone and vegetables in the soup kettle and -cover with two quarts of cold water to which half -a teaspoonful of salt has been added, and simmer -four hours, removing the scum as it rises. Soak -the brains in cold salt water an hour, tie in a linen -cloth and boil gently twenty minutes in salted -water. Plunge an instant in cold water to render -white and firm. Cook two ounces butter and one -ounce of flour in a sauce pan till very brown. Put -both soup stocks together in the kettle, after all -grease and settlings have been removed, also the -meat from the head cut in small dice, and the -yolks of a dozen hard boiled eggs, and when it -boils add the brains cut in small pieces. Put the -lemon, cut in thin slices, in a heated tureen, with -a gill of wine for each quart of soup; pour the -boiling soup on them, and serve.</p> - - -<h4><i>No. 2.</i>—<span class="allsmcap">SAVE-ALL SOUP.</span></h4> - -<p>Collect the scraps left from breakfast and dinner, -for instance, a half pint of soup, a gill of gravy, a -half pint of mashed turnip or potato, a little macaroni -cooked with cheese, a sour baked apple or<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_29"></a>[29]</span> -broiled chop or steak, etc., etc.; put them in the -stock pot or soup kettle with sufficient cold water, -simmer for an hour, removing any scum that rises, -then strain and set aside. Next day remove the -grease, put the soup to cook, and when it boils, season -with salt and pepper, and if it seems to need -other seasoning add a pinch Of thyme, or celery -seed, or a teaspoonful of sugar. It is sometimes -well to put half a bay leaf and two or three cloves -in the kettle with the scraps. The flavorings and -spices required in a mixed soup of this description -depend greatly upon the nature of the scraps used. -If they are mostly light and delicate, thyme, mace, -celery, or parsley can be added; if dark and heavy, -cloves, bay leaf, sweet marjoram or a little Worcestershire -sauce, or walnut or other catsup can be -used more appropriately. Sometimes an ounce -each of butter and flour cooked together in a saucepan -till browned, and then added to the soup, give -it the very thing it lacks; or it may be that the -flour stirred with a gill of cold sweet cream is what -is needed to make it a perfect soup.</p> - -<p>To select and harmonize the materials for a -mixed soup is one of the best evidences of culinary -capacity; and the cook who can do this successfully,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_30"></a>[30]</span> -is qualified to prepare a soup of the most -complex as well as one of the simplest character, -without regard to its name or class.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">OYSTER SOUPS.</span></h3> - -<p>These all belong to the white soup class, but -they occupy so anomalous a position—an oyster -soup being simply an oyster stew with additional -liquid, and a thickening of flour—that they deserve -special mention.</p> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">TO STEW OYSTERS.</span>—<i>No. 1.</i></h4> - -<p>Rinse a quart of oysters in cold water, drain -through a sieve. Put a piece of butter the size of -an egg in a stew pan, and when melted add a pint -of milk and let it come to a boil; add the oysters, -and the moment the edges curl remove from the -fire; season with salt and pepper. Serve with -small crackers, or on thin slices of buttered toast.</p> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">TO STEW OYSTERS.</span>—<i>No. 2.</i></h4> - -<p>Pour a pint of cold water over a quart of oysters, -stir well and drain; put the liquor in a stew pan -greased with butter; when it boils, skim, add the -oysters, season to taste with butter, salt and pepper, -and cook and serve as in No. 1.</p> - - - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_31"></a>[31]</span>In changing an oyster stew to a soup, the thickening -and extra liquid should be added and cooked -before the oysters are put into it.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">POTAGES, PUREES AND CONSOMMES.</span></h3> - -<p>These are French terms used to designate different -kinds of soups; but they are applied so indiscriminately -as to possess very little significance, -even for culinary adepts; and the dividing line between -a potage, a puree, a consomme, and an ordinary -soup, is so imaginary as to be indistinct to -plain every-day people. But as a foreign or grotesque -name does not detract from the quality of a -good thing, those who prefer to call a soup a potage, -a puree or a consomme, can do so with impunity, -and not legally infringe on the domain of any professional -cook.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">HOW TO SCALD SOUP.</span></h3> - -<p>To scald stock or soup properly, it must be -brought to the boiling point and thoroughly heated. -Its liability to ferment and grow sour is only increased -by merely re-warming it.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">WHEN TO ADD FLAVORING.</span></h3> - -<p>Vegetables when used merely to flavor soups -should be simmered only long enough to extract<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_32"></a>[32]</span> -their juices; and aromatic spices, orange and lemon -juice, and other liquid flavorings whose subtle -essences are driven off by heat, should be added -barely a sufficient length of time before the soup is -served, for them to blend and harmonize with the -other materials—in fact it is usually better to put -them in the tureen and pour the soup over them -just before it goes to the table.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">ORDER OF ADDING VEGETABLES.</span></h3> - -<p>Where several kinds of vegetables are used in the -preparation of a soup, care should be taken to put -those that require most cooking in the kettle first; -and, if possible, to limit the simmering of each kind -to the time actually necessary to cook it tender.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">BROWNING VEGETABLES.</span></h3> - -<p>Breakfast bacon and ham give a peculiarly fine -flavor to many soups, and when they are used the -vegetables added to such soups should be browned -in the fryings of the meat; but when neither bacon -nor ham is used, the vegetables should be browned -in butter, as in most cases they impart a richer -flavor to the soup, if nicely browned in a little -grease before being added.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_33"></a>[33]</span></p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">VEGETABLES, ETC., ADAPTED TO SOUPS.</span></h3> - -<p>While nearly all kinds of vegetables, herbs, -spices and cereals can be appropriately used at -pleasure in clear, vegetable and mixed soups, those -specially adapted to white soups are: cauliflower, -potato, white turnip, onion, celery, salsify, cresses, -capers, olives, parsley, thyme, rice, macaroni, vermicelli, -tapioca, sago, mace, and red and white -pepper.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">TO CLARIFY SOUPS.</span></h3> - -<p>To each gallon of soup add, while cold, the -whites and shells of two eggs beaten with a little -cold water, simmer for fifteen minutes, removing -the scum as it rises, and then strain through a -flannel cloth or bag.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">CARAMEL.</span></h3> - -<p>Preparations for coloring and flavoring soups -can be obtained at almost any grocery by those -who wish to use them. But caramel, which is innocent -and cheap, is one of the best coloring materials, -and is easily prepared:—</p> - -<p>Stir half a pound of sugar and a spoonful of -water in a saucepan over the fire till a bright<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_34"></a>[34]</span> -brown, then add half a pint of water, boil a few -minutes and strain. Caramel made in this manner -will keep a considerable length of time if put -in an air-tight jar or bottle.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">THICKENING FOR SOUPS.</span></h3> - -<p>When flour, corn starch, farina or arrow root are to -be used as thickening for soups they should be stirred -to a smooth paste with cold milk, cream, or butter, -and then added to the boiling soup. If the flour is -desired brown it should be cooked with butter before -it is added to the soup.</p> - - -<h3><span class="allsmcap">ADDITIONS TO SOUPS.</span></h3> - -<p>Eggs cooked in a variety of ways, croutons, -noodles, dumplings, force meat balls, and a dozen -other articles that are manufactured for the purpose, -are used according to fancy as additions to -soups. Some of them are cooked in the soup and -served with it, and some are cooked separate and -put in the tureen or the individual plates, and the -soup poured over them.</p> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">CROUTONS.</span></h4> - -<p>A bit of toasted or fried bread is called in -French a crouton; and croutons, which are simply<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_35"></a>[35]</span> -bits of bread toasted or fried brown, are very nice -in a variety of soups. The bread can be toasted in -the ordinary way and used dry, or it can be buttered, -cut in dice and toasted brown in the oven, or fried -brown in butter or drippings. The best way of -serving croutons is to put a spoonful of them in -each plate and pour the hot soup over them.</p> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">NOODLES.</span></h4> - -<p>The noodle is one of the traditional articles for -serving in soups. It is a general favorite and is -easily made:</p> - -<p>To three eggs, two tablespoonfuls of water, and -a pinch of salt, add flour enough to make a stiff -dough. Work and knead fifteen or twenty minutes, -roll to a very thin sheet, dust lightly and evenly -with flour, and roll up compactly. Then with a -thin sharp bladed knife cut into very thin slices -and let dry for a couple of hours before putting in -the soup. They will cook in five minutes. Or,</p> - -<p>Beat an egg very light, add flour until stiff enough -to roll into little crumbs the size of wheat or rice -grains, drop into boiling soup and cook a few minutes.</p> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">DUMPLINGS.</span></h4> - -<p>A very delicate dumpling for soup can be made<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_36"></a>[36]</span> -of biscuit dough, raised with either yeast or baking -powder, in this manner: roll the dough thin, -cut into dice, roll under the hand on a floured board, -and steam for twenty minutes; put in the tureen -and pour boiling soup over them.</p> - -<p>But the most delicate of dumplings are made -of light bread crumbs, suet or marrow, egg and -seasoning. These can be varied in seasoning to -suit any soup. This is a good combination for a -clear, white or delicate soup of any kind. Mix -well, but lightly, a tablespoonful uncooked beef -marrow and half a pint bread crumbs, seasoned -with salt, pepper, grated lemon peel and mace; -add one well beaten egg, roll into balls in the -hands, and drop into the boiling soup. They -should be served as soon as they rise to the surface.</p> - - -<h4><span class="allsmcap">FORCE MEAT BALLS.</span></h4> - -<p>To four parts cooked veal, and one part suet -minced together, add four parts bread crumbs and -season with salt, pepper, powdered cloves and sweet -herbs. Bind together with beaten egg, make into -small balls and fry brown. These are much -used in mock turtle and other heavy soups.</p> -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_37"></a>[37]</span> - -<h2 class="nobreak">SOUP AND SOUP MAKING QUESTIONS.</h2> -</div> - - -<p>1.—What is a stock pot?</p> - -<p>2.—How should it be used and how frequently?</p> - -<p>3.—What is soup stock?</p> - -<p>4.—How many kinds of stock are there?</p> - -<p>5.—What is simple stock?</p> - -<p>6.—What is compound stock?</p> - -<p>7.—How is stock made?</p> - -<p>8.—Why should the water for making stock be -salted?</p> - -<p>9.—How much salt should be used?</p> - -<p>10.—Why should the scum that rises be removed?</p> - -<p>11.—Why should meat for making stock be put -to cook in cold water?</p> - -<p>12.—Why should meat for soup be simmered -rather than boiled?</p> - -<p>13.—What should be the quality of the meat for -making stock or soup?</p> - - - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_38"></a>[38]</span>14.—What is beef tea and how is it made?</p> - -<p>15.—Upon what does the consistency of stock depend?</p> - -<p>16.—What length of time should stock be simmered?</p> - -<p>17.—When sufficiently cooked how should it be -treated?</p> - -<p>18.—How long will stock keep?</p> - -<p>19.—Should vegetables be cooked with meat in -making stock?
