This is another very good soup, full of nourishment,* and easy to make. If wanted for a dinner for children, without a dish of more solid food, it is a good plan to cut up slices of bread (one for each child) into dice half an inch square, and fry them a nice light brown, to eat with the soup. This forms an excellent dinner for children at a very small cost.
In pulping the beans through a colander, press them against the side to break them. Then pour over them a little of the hot soup, which will make them pulp 'better. A little patient work will often make them go through, when at first they seem too hard to do so. Each girl must take her turn, and learn to pulp soup.
