Macaroni Soup. — (1) Put jib. of Macaroni into a saucepan with loz. of butter and an onion stuck with five cloves, and boil until the Macaroni is quite tender ; take it out, drain, put it into a saucepan, and pour over jgall. of good gravy. Put the pan at the side of the fire, and simmer the Macaroni gently for about ten minutes, taking care that it does not break or become pulpy. Add a little grated Parmesan cheese, pour the whole into a tureen, and serve. (2) Boil 8:>z. of Macaroni in a saucepan with lqt. of stock ; when tender, take it out, drain quite diy, and put half of it into another saucepan with another quart of stock, and boil to a pulp ; pass it through a sieve, add the 2qts. of stock, 1 pint of boiling cream, 8oz. of grated Parmesan cheese, and the remaining half of the Macaroni. Put the pan at the side of the fire so that the soup will thoroughly warm without boiling, then pour it into a tureen, drop in the crust of a French roll cut up small, and serve very hot. (3) Break up 6oz. of Macaroni, and put it into a saucepan with 1 pint of boiling water (in which two or three bacon- bones and a large onion have been stewing for about one hour), loz. of butter, and pepper and salt to taste. Simmer gently for one hour until the Macaroni is tender, take it out, put it at the bottom of a tureen, and pour over lqt. of good vegetable soup thickened with Hour. Any white stock or broth may be used instead of the water with the bacon-hones, but care must be taken not to use any that will colour the Macaroni in the slightest, or the effect will be spoilt. (4) Put jib. of Macaroni in boiling salted water and scald it for a few minutes ; then take out, drain, put it in a saucepan with 1 pint of milk, 2oz. of butter, salt and pepper to taste, and simmer gently until quite done. Grate in a handful of Parmesan and Gruycre cheeses in equal quan- tities, put the Macaroni at the bottom of the tureen, pour the milk soup over, and serve. (5) Fry in butter a finely-minced onion in a saucepan, and when a light golden colour add 6oz. of ham cut in small pieces, a bunch of parsley and fine herbs, and a few pepper- corns. Let these cook for a few minutes, then add eight large tomatoes, having the skin and seeds removed, cut in pieces, and drained quite dry. When the moisture from the tomatoes has reduced, pour in a little melted glaze and a little reduced brown sauce, cook for a few minutes longer, and pass all through a sieve. Boil 1 jib. of Macaron
