White soups are perhaps the most delicate variety of mixed soups. In their preparation a portion of cream or milk is used, and they are known as ' ' Cream of Cel- ery, " " Cream of Asparagus, ' ' etc. Soups made thick with vegetables rubbed through a sieve, in the prepara- tion of which neither cream nor milk is used, are fre- quently put down on bills of fare as ' ' creams, ' ' but they have no legitimate place among that class of soups — all such mixtures are purees.
