Cut up 12 large onions. Boil them in 3 quarts of milk and water equally mixed. Put in a piece of fowl, or veal, and a piece of bacon with pepper and salt. When the onions are boiled to a pulp thicken with a large spoonful of butter mixed with 1 of flour. Take out meat and serve it up with toasted bread cut in small pieces in the soup.
