About SOuns.

The French preparation of soups is
perfect in the care taken to remove all
grease, which is allowed to rise to the
surface and become hard, then being
removed in a solidified mass. The
French avoid noodle, lobster, and
mock-turtle soups, and they do not use
vermicelli or macaroni. Delicately or
ganized persons take safely oyster, to-
mato, gumbo, rice, oxtail, PURGE of
bean soup. If eggs are added to soup,
it will be richer and more nutritious.
Excellent forcemeat balls for game and
mock-turtle soups are easily made !:
Rub to a paste the yelks of five hard
boiled eggs; season with salt and but
ter, and add these to the soup five min
utes before boiling. The French make
their soup the day before it is to be
used, giving ample time for the fat to
rise, harden, and be removed. Before
serving the next day it may be thick
ened with rice, flour, or whatever is
preferred. To prepare q lunch bouil-
Ion, soup-bone of five or six pounds
is required; cut the meat into small
pieces, crack the bones, and turn II all
into two quarts of cold water; let 1T
simmer for five hours, when the
strength will be taken from the meat
remove all the fat and strain through q
sieve; it should boil down to ten cups
then season with salt and pepper. This
served in cups. Another more elaborate
bouillon is prepared with four pounds
of the brisket of beef; place it in a
glazed stewpan. Pour over il three
quarts of cold water, add three tea
spoonfuls of salt place it at the side of
fire, and carefully remove the scum
as it rises; allow the regular slow heat
for four hours, occasionally adding a
tablespoonful of cold water, which will
cause the scum to rise. When quite
clear, add two tulnips, two carrots, one
leek, one fried onion with two cloves in
it, head of celery, bunch of parsley,
with bouquet of sweet herbs, and a
teaspoonful OF black pepper, and let it
stew for one hour more. Take out then
the bouilli, or boiled meat, and the
vegetables, and strain the soup, which
is served French fashion, poured over
slices of bread at the bottom OF the
tureen, or English fashion, with small
squares of toasted bread. The bouilli
used as remove to the soup, should
be sent in with the vegetables neatly
