It is better to prepare the balls for this soup first, as follows: Put
in a saucepan a tablespoonful of white flour and two tablespoonfuls of
Groult's potato flour, stir together and add a tablespoonful of butter
and a cup of milk, mix all together and place on the stove where it is
not very hot. Stir constantly until it is smooth and no longer sticks to
the pan, remove from the fire, let it cool, and beat in two eggs, one at
a time, season with a dash of cayenne, a few grains of powdered mace, a
few drops of onion juice, a little salt and half a teaspoonful of sugar.
These balls must be seasoned very delicately. Cook and drain as the
spinach balls are done, using a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon. Put to
one side while the soup is being made. For the soup take three French
carrots, half a parsnip, half a white onion and a little green pepper
chopped fine, cover with boiling water and cook until tender. Melt a
generous tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan, and when it bubbles
stir into it a small tablespoonful of flour, then add three cups of milk
and let it come to a boil. When the vegetables are tender stir them into
the thickened milk with the water they were boiled in, together with
half a teaspoonful of sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Then put the
balls in and let the soup come to a boil, add a teaspoonful of finely
minced parsley and remove from the fire. Have one egg yolk beaten with
two tablespoonfuls of cream and stir in carefully so as not to break the
balls just before turning the soup into the tureen.
A NORWEGIAN SWEET SOUP.
Put a quarter of a cup of rice into three cups of boiling water with a
small stick of cinnamon, and let it boil nearly an hour. About fifteen
minutes before it is done add half a cup of raisins stoned. Beat two egg
yolks with a heaping tablespoonful of sugar until white and creamy, then
stir into them about half a cup of sweet cider, remove the soup from the
fire, add a little of it to the eggs and cider, stir well, and mix all
together rapidly and serve at once. Two tablespoonfuls of good sherry
improves it.
ONION SOUP.
Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a spider, when it bubbles add four
large onions, washed, skinned and cut in slices, let them simmer without
browning about half an hour, then stir in a slightly heaping
tablespoonful of flour. When it thickens pour in gradually a pint and a
half of boiling milk, season with salt and pepper to taste, press
through a puree sieve, and return to the fire. While it is getting hot,
beat together two egg yolks and half a cup of cream, remove from the
stove and stir the eggs and cream into it rapidly, pour at once into the
tureen and serve.
