Cut up three hard boiled eggs, and add, when done, one glass of wine.
A little brandy and walnut catsup, with more eggs, will improve it,
though it is a delightful soup as it is.--_Mrs. W. A. C._
_Calf's Head Soup._
Clean the head, laying aside the brains. Put the head in a gallon of
water, with pepper and salt. Boil to pieces and take out bones; return
to the pot with--
1 teacup of mushroom or tomato catsup.
1 teaspoonful allspice.
1 lemon rind, grated.
1 grated nutmeg.
1 tablespoonful butter.
1 teacup of browned flour.
Fry, and add the brains when nearly ready for the table. About five
minutes before serving, add:
1 teacup of wine.
1 teaspoonful cloves.
1 teaspoonful mace.
When sent to the table have two hard-boiled eggs sliced and floating
on top.--_Mrs. J. D._
_Calf's Head Soup._
Take a large calf's head and boil it with four gallons water and a
little salt; when tender, bone and chop it fine, keeping out the
brains, and put the meat back in the pot and boil down to a tureenful.
Half an hour before serving the soup, add:
1 tablespoonful mustard.
1 teaspoonful black pepper.
1 teaspoonful powdered cloves.
1 teaspoonful mace.
1 teaspoonful nutmeg.
Brown a cup of flour to thicken and just as the soup is dished, add
one cup walnut catsup, and one cup port or claret wine.
The brains must be beaten up with an egg, fried in little cakes, and
dropped in the tureen.--_Miss N._
CALF'S HEAD SOUP.
Take the head, split it open and take out the brains; then put the
head, brains, and haslet in salt water--let them soak one hour. Put on
to boil at eight o'clock; after boiling four hours, take it up and
chop up the head and haslet, removing all the bones; return to the
soup, with a small pod of pepper. Thicken it with one pint browned
flour with one tablespoonful butter rubbed in it. Have--
1 tablespoonful mace.
1 tablespoonful allspice.
½ doz. cloves.
Beat all together and put in the tureen with,
1 teacup of tomato catsup.
1 teacup of cooking wine.
Pour the soup on them. Have the brains fried, and two hard boiled eggs
sliced and dropped in the soup.--_Mrs. T. C._
_Brown Calf's Head Soup._
Scald and clean the head, and put it to boil in two gallons water,
with
A shank of veal.
2 carrots.
3 onions.
A small piece of bacon.
A bunch of sweet herbs.
When they have boiled half an hour, take out the head and shank, and
cut all the meat off the bone in pieces two inches square. Let the
soup boil half an hour longer, then strain it and put in the meat, and
season with salt, black and cayenne pepper (and a few cloves, if you
like them). Thicken with butter and brown flour.
Let it now boil nearly an hour longer, and just before serving it,
stir in one tablespoonful sugar browned in a frying-pan, and half a
pint wine. A good substitute for turtle soup.--_Mrs. Col. A. F._
