-
-PRELIMINARY REMARKS.
-
-
-Soup is so convenient, economical and healthful, that as an article of
-diet it ranks second in importance only to bread; and soup making is
-justly entitled to a prominent place in the science of cookery.
-
-A simple soup or broth of good quality, delicately seasoned with salt
-and pepper, or containing some of the grains, or grain products, is
-always acceptable, and none of the more complex soups that can be
-readily secured by a judicious introduction of vegetables, herbs and
-spices ever meet with popular disfavor.
-
-There are enough scraps of cooked and uncooked meats, trimmings of
-roasts, steaks, chops, cutlets and so on in nearly every house to keep
-the family supplied with nutritious, palatable soup, with very little
-trouble and at only a slight expense for additional material. 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.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation

-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,

-
-
-<h2 class="nobreak">PRELIMINARY REMARKS.</h2>
-</div>
-
-
-<p>Soup is so convenient, economical and healthful,
-that as an article of diet it ranks second in importance
-only to bread; and soup making is justly
-entitled to a prominent place in the science of
-cookery.</p>
-
-<p>A simple soup or broth of good quality, delicately
-seasoned with salt and pepper, or containing
-some of the grains, or grain products, is always acceptable,
-and none of the more complex soups that
-can be readily secured by a judicious introduction
-of vegetables, herbs and spices ever meet with popular
-disfavor.</p>
-
-<p>There are enough scraps of cooked and uncooked
-meats, trimmings of roasts, steaks, chops, cutlets
-and so on in nearly every house to keep the family<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_8"></a>[8]</span>
-supplied with nutritious, palatable soup, with very
-little trouble and at only a slight expense for additional
-material. And as the best dinner can
-generally be preceded with advantage by a light
-soup of some kind, to an ordinary, cold, or &#8220;picked-up&#8221;
-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>

-<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 &#8220;digester&#8221; 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:&mdash;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 &#8220;scald it&#8221; 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>
-

-<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&mdash;cream
-of celery soup;&mdash;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>

-<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&mdash;</p>
-
-
-<h4><i>No. 1.</i>&mdash;<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>&mdash;<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>&mdash;<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>&mdash;<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>&mdash;<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>&mdash;<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>&mdash;<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. 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.</p>
-
-
-<h4><i>No. 2.</i>&mdash;<span class="allsmcap">CORN SOUP.</span></h4>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_26"></a>[26]</span></p>
-
-
-<h4><i>No. 3.</i>&mdash;<span class="allsmcap">A RICH WHITE SOUP.</span></h4>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-
-<h3>CLASS FIVE.</h3>
-
-
-<h4><span class="allsmcap">MIXED SOUPS.</span></h4>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>Nearly all soups are in a certain sense mixed
-soups; but plain, clear, vegetable and white soups,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_27"></a>[27]</span>
-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.</p>
-
-<p>An illustration of a mixed soup that can not be
-placed under any other division is</p>
-
-
-<h4><i>No. 1.</i>&mdash;<span class="allsmcap">MOCK TURTLE SOUP.</span></h4>
-
-<p class="center">Ingredients:</p>
-
-<p>A calf&#8217;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&mdash;a glass of wine to each quart of soup.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>When it boils skim carefully and let simmer<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_28"></a>[28]</span>
-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.</p>
-
-
-<h4><i>No. 2.</i>&mdash;<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&mdash;an oyster
-soup being simply an oyster stew with additional
-liquid, and a thickening of flour&mdash;that they deserve
-special mention.</p>
-
-
-<h4><span class="allsmcap">TO STEW OYSTERS.</span>&mdash;<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>&mdash;<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&mdash;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:&mdash;</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>

-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be

-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
