Ingredients

  • 4 quarts of water
  • 1 cupful of rice
  • 1 slice of onion
  • 2 sticks of celery
  • 1 sprig of parsley
  • four quarts of cold water
  • two sticks of celery
  • one sprig of parsley
  • one cupful of rice
  • two tablespoonfuls of the cold stock
  • one tablespoonful of corn-starch
  • 1 fowl
  • one thick slice of onion
  • parsley
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions

1

1 fowl. 4 quarts of water. 1 cupful of rice. 1 slice of onion. 2 sticks of celery. 1 sprig of parsley.

2

Place the fowl, cut into pieces, in a saucepan with four quarts of cold water; when it comes to the boiling-point, draw it aside and let it simmer for three hours; then add one thick slice of onion, two sticks of celery, one sprig of parsley, and one cupful of rice, and simmer for another hour; strain and let the soup stand until the grease can be taken off the top. Remove the meat, bones, and vegetables from the strainer, and press the rice through the sieve; stir this into the soup; season with salt and pepper, and heat again before serving; a little cream may also be added. This soup is also good thickened with a little roux or with corn-starch. For the latter, take two tablespoonfuls of the cold stock; stir into it one tablespoonful of corn-starch; then stir it into the soup, and let cook for ten minutes to take away the raw taste of the starch, and to make it clear. Pieces of the breast cut into dice may also be added.
