Ingredients

  • four quarts of water
  • one tablespoonful of flour
  • two carrots
  • three turnips
  • one onion

Directions

1

Take a cold roast-beef bone, pieces of beefsteak, the rack of a cold turkey or chicken. Put them into a pot with three or four quarts of water, two carrots, three turnips, one onion, a few cloves, pepper and salt. Boil the whole gently four hours; then strain it through a colander, mashing the vegetables so that they will all pass through. Skim off the fat, and return the soup to the pot. Mix one tablespoonful of flour with two of water, stir it into the soup and boil the whole ten minutes. Serve this soup with sippits of toast.

2

Sippits are bits of dry toast cut into a triangular form.

A seasonable dish about the holidays.
