colander, and stir it well into the soup ;
boil two hours. Ten minutes before it
is served, beat the yolks of two eggs
with two spoonfuls of vinegar, and a
little of the soup, pour in gradually, and
stir well. Add cloves, if agreeable.
ONION SOUP, White.— Take
30 large onions ; boil in five quarts of
water, with a knuckle of veal, a blade or
two of mace, and pepper ; when the

butter.

boil out in milk, add butter, and gravy,
or, if you b'ke, a little cream. Do not
boil too quickly. Season with salt,
