are no Jumps to be found, and then add
to it a few spoonfuls of the hot soup,
mixing we'll until the flour and Talk
are gradually warmed; then pour the
mixture into the kettle, stirring steadily
as the soup thickens.
Tnbrswing she Seasoning
If the thickening is not put in just
this way, il is very likely TO harm the
soup, for the -four, becoming suddenly
heated, will lump, and not only spoil
the smoothness, but fail to thicken, so
that more -four will be necessary. If
in spite of care-and it will sometimes
happen-the -four Jumps, strain once
more and return to the stove. Add to
the thickened soup a tablespoonful of
butter, we'll stirred in, teaspoonful of
salt, one-half saltspoonful of pepper and
one-half saltspoonful of celery salt.
Some people prefer to use meat in pea
soup, cooking a ham bone with the peas
for the sake OF the favor. and others
use with the peas piece of salt pork,
scant quarter OF a pound, IN both
cases emitting the butter. This, how
ever, removes it from the list of vege-
table purees to heavier and richer
soup.

and one-half ssltspoonful OF white pep
per. While this is simmering, strain
your tomato and return 10 the kettle.
When you are quite ready TO serve the
soup, add saltspoonful of soda to the
tomato, and pour ii into the thickened
milk, mixing il well
You may wonder at this precaution,
and as ! mean to tell you the reason
why" of everything. you may well ask
why the two parts of the soup might
not be rniycd at once, and save you the
trouble of an extra something to do at
the last moment
The answer is not far to seek, and
perhaps you have guessed slready-be-
cause | have told you to counteract the
acid of tomato with soda--that the &C
ton of the acid in the milk might be to
curdle il. To avoid this trouble be sure
that your milk has boiled, that the soda
has permeated the entire tomato, and
then do not hunt for trouble" by letting
the two cook together
And now for some OF our weekly foot
suggestions. II is our purpose each weel
to make this department one OF all
FOUND practical heipfulness. and as |
| housewife | have always found new tabl'
suggestions the most valuable.

and not mention tomato soup, which IS
a general favorite and very easily made.
II may be said right here that all these
soups are simple, but three things be-
ing required in the end a smooth liquid
of the consistency desired, good sea-
soning, and what | mentioned frst. that
they should be served hot
All these things by practice and fore
thought are possible to the youngest
cook, and in a short time she will grow
to find making soups an easy and pleas
ant part OF preparing dinner But il
we are to make tomato soup, we must
be about it, for after all, practice is
quite as much part of our training as
theory
Take a quart OF tomato, either quart
can or the same amount of the fresh
vegetable when stewed. Put this IL
your soup-kettle and add a pint of boil
ing water, a tablespoonful of chopped
onion, four whole cloves, one teaspoon
full of sugar, one teaspoonful Of salt
and one-auarter of teaspoonful OF
pepper, letting the whole boil together
| from twenty minutes to half an hour.
| This soup, like all those made without
the double boiler, has TO be carefully
watched to see that it does not boil
away, and hot water may be added to
keep the original amount OF liquid.
Let Tomato Soup Simmer
When the soup has reached this point
| it is time to strain, as in the case OF
the pea soup, but it is well to use the
masher judiciously in order not to force
the tomato seeds through the strainer.
Return the strained liquid 10 the soup
kettle and put back to heat Melt in
a saucepan a tablespoonful OF butter and
add a heaping tablespoonful OF -four
Thicken as for the potato soup, and LEI
il simmer for ten minutes.
Perhaps there Is no soup which II IS
so necessary for a cook to taste ss 20
mato soup, Tor the degree OF vegetable
acid differs greatly, and while unpleasant
il too much, it is easy to counteract By
adding a little more sugar or salt.
spoonful of soda Salt and pepper, too
may not be in right proportion, the faul
being again in the variableness OF thu
vegetable.
This is the simplest tomato soup which
one can make, and because II may seen

am going to give you the recipe TO

but our meals are more complicated
things, and we may water our por-
ridge" only by cooking an additional
something easy, quick TO make, and one
hand. Such a one is the potato soup.
Soup without Stock
For this you may use the following
ingredients and proportions: To every
pint Of milk use three medium sized
potatoes, one tablespoonful of chopped
onion, one teaspoonful of salt. speck
of white pepper, one-half tablespoonful
of -four and the same amount OF butter.
This will make the best soup, of
course. but il milk is not to be spared,
or not easily obtainable, you may use
milk and water of equal parts, and IN
the same way beef dripping may be
substituted for butter, provided 1t IS
quite pure and clear.
First of all the potatoes should be
washed, pared and boiled, and while
thew are cooking put on in the double
boiler the milk and chopped onion.
When the potatoes are done, drain and
mash them, add the milk and rub
through a strainer, afterward putting
the whole back into the double boiler and
on the stove. Add seasoning and your
soup is then ready to thicken.
Thickening Soups
| have already given one formula
for thickening soups; this is another
to be used when no liquid is being added
but when butter is the medium for
smoothing the -four. For this you need
to take small saucepan and melt your
butter, adding the -four by degrees, and
stirring constantly 1t will take tire,
or four minutes for your -four TO cool
thoroughly, then add it slowly to thu
