SOUP A-LA-REINE. 17 Turkish Soup.— Furnish for this : — • One quart of white stock, one half tea-cupful of whole rice, the yolks of two eggs, one table-spoonful of cream, one half salt-spoonful of salt, and an equal amount of pepper. In preparing this soup, boil first the rice in the stock for twenty minutes. At the end of this time pass the whole through a wire sieve, rubbing such of the rice as may stick through with a wooden spoon ; then stir it thoroughly to beat out such lumps as the rice may have formed, and return all to the sauce-pan. The yolks of eggs, cream, pepper, and salt must now be well beaten together and added to the stock and rice, and the whole stirred over the fire for two minutes, care being taken to prevent boiling after the eggs are put in, for reasons already given. This soup should also be served very hot.
