STOCK FOR ALL KINDS OF SOUP. Spread your soup pot with four tablespoonfuls of butter, lay on it next the meat, either a knuckle of veal or beef (or both together for the finest kind of stock). Add a cup of cold water, two tablespoonfuls of salt, three middle-sized onions with two cloves in each, one turnip, one carrot, and one-half a head of celery (if you have it). Put the cover on the pot, and occasionally stir it, until the bottom is covered with a whitish glaze, then fill up the pot with cold water, and when upon the point of boiling draw it to the side to simmer long enough to jelly. Strain while hot, and vary as suits yourself when serving. To two gallons of water about six pounds of veal or seven pounds of beef
