Ingredients

One pint of peas
half a pound of carrots
two pounds of turnips
one small onion
two ounces of parsley
two ounces of butter
a table-spoonful of flour

Method

Steep the peas about twenty-four hours in cold water, adding a piece of soda about the size of a nut; wash the peas very well in fresh water and put them into a pan with three quarts of water, adding salt and a little carbonate of soda, and let them boil until tender, then rub them through a fine colander.
Boil the turnips and carrots together, pour the water from them and rub them through the colander; put all together into the pan, and when boiling, add the flour, previously mixed with a little cold water, and stir in the butter.
The parsley to be boiled, adding a very small piece of carbonate of soda, and when finely chopped, should be put in the soup at the last.
