Ingredients

  • 1/2 pint of cream
  • 2 quarts of good white veal stock
  • 1/2 pint of cream that has boiled
  • 1 quart of stock
  • 1 large fowl
  • 1 1/2 french roll
  • 1 small lump of sugar
  • 8 persons
  • 1/2 teacupful of rice
  • 4 persons

Directions

1

183. INGREDIENTS.--1 large fowl, 1 oz. of sweet almonds, the crumb of 1 1/2 French roll, 1/2 pint of cream, salt to taste, 1 small lump of sugar, 2 quarts of good white veal stock, No. 107.

2

_Mode_.--Boil the fowl gently in the stock till quite tender, which will be in about an hour, or rather more; take out the fowl, pull the meat from the bones, and put it into a mortar with the almonds, and pound very fine. When beaten enough, put the meat back in the stock, with the crumb of the rolls, and let it simmer for an hour; rub it through a tammy, add the sugar, 1/2 pint of cream that has boiled, and, if you prefer, cut the crust of the roll into small round pieces, and pour the soup over it, when you serve.

3

_Time_.--2 hours, or rather more. _Average cost_, 2s. 7d. per quart.

4

_Seasonable_ all the year.

5

_Sufficient_ for 8 persons.

6

_Note_.--All white soups should be warmed in a vessel placed in another of boiling water. (_See_ BAIN MARIE, No. 87.)

7

II. (Economical.)

8

184. INGREDIENTS.--Any remains of roast chickens, 1/2 teacupful of rice, salt and pepper to taste, 1 quart of stock No. 106.

9

_Mode_.--Take all the white meat and pound it with the rice, which has been slightly cooked, but not much. When it is all well pounded, dilute with the stock, and pass through a sieve. This soup should neither be too clear nor too thick.

10

_Time_.--1 hour. _Average cost_, 4d. per quart.

11

_Seasonable_ all the year.

12

_Sufficient_ for 4 persons.

13

_Note_.--If stock is not at hand, put the chicken-bones in water, with an onion, carrot, a few sweet herbs, a blade of mace, pepper and salt, and stew for 3 hours.
