HJR Colbo HAJet 106 FOODS THAT WILL WIN THE WAR SOUPS UTILIZE LEFTOVERS In nearly every case when meat is purchased, some bone is paid for. Too frequently this is either left at the market or thrown away in the home. Bones, gristle, tough ends, head and feet of chickens, head, fins and bones of fish, etc., should be utilized for making soup. If a meat or fish chowder with plenty of vegetable accompaniment is served, no other meat is required for the usual home meal. If a cream of dried or fresh vegetables, or a meat stock soup with plenty of vegetables or cereal content, is served, the amount of meat eaten with the main course of the meal will be materially lessened. Soups may be a most economical method of using water in which meat, fish or vegetables have been cooked; also of utilizing small por- tions of leftover meats, fish, vegetables or cereal. Cream soups are made by cooking vegetables or cereal, then utiliz- ing the water in which they are cooked as part of the liquid for the soup. Outer parts or wilted parts of vegetables may be utilized for soups instead of being discarded. Water in which ham or mutton has been boiled makes an excellent basis for dried or fresh vegetable soups. In fact, soup can be made from all kinds of leftovers—the variety and kind make little difference so long as the mixture is allowed to sim- mer for several hours and is properly seasoned.
