An hour before dinner time take out the meat strain the stock through a fine strainer and into the soup pot. Cut piece of car- rot, turnip and onion into small dice and throw in and let cook till done and add the cloves and cup of tomatoes, pepper and salt, thickening and the pars- ley at List. It is generally considered a reproach to say the soup is thin. A proper mtdi- um should be observed.

Take about three pounds of the mid- dle out of a small salmon, and, having scaled and cleaned it, put it on to cook in water that is already boiling and strongly salted. The
