Review Questions. LETTER ON SOUP. Our lesson is to be soups. French, Germans, and Americans, rich and poor, have some kind of soup every day. Some people depend upon it for an entire meal, and some only for a first course of a dinner. Soups are made with stock. Ps. puree, which is merely thick soup, is generally made of vegetables, and clear soups must be made of uncooked meat. Stock is only the water in which meat has been boiled. It should be made the day before it is to be used, and the cake of fat which will rise on the top taken off before it is heated over. If you leave the fat on until it is heated, the stock will keep better. Never cook vegetables in with the stock that is not to be used immediately, as the juices from the vegetables will cause it to ferment. Excellent stock can be made from the scraps and bones, cooked or uncooked, that are left from roasts and beefsteaks, and this is the only way of gaining the last bit of nourishment in them. Whether the meat is cooked or uncooked, it should all be cut in small pieces, and the bones broken. There is a great deal of gelatine in meat and bones (the same that we buy to make jelly), that thickens and strengthens the soup stock. But clear gelatine is not nourishing, and boiling the stock hard takes away its nourishing properties, and causes the albumen to harden and rise with the scum. Stock
