CREAM OF LEXIS.
A delicious cream soup that is less
known than more ordinary flavors in
our American kitchens is cream of
leeks.
Much of the deliciousness of French
clear soups is due to this pungent
little green. 1t will be found to lend
itself to the cream variety with equal
success.
Wash carefully one scant pint of
young, tender leeks and cut them in
small pieces. Melt tablespoonful of
butter in a saucepan or the soup pot,
add the leeks to this and stir over a
moderate fire. Cook five minutes,
taking care not to brown either the
butter or the greens. When they look
bright green and wilted, add two
quarts of stock, half a cupful of we'll
washed rice, one teaspoonful of chop
ped parsley two cloves and one bay
leaf. Simmer very slowly for an hour
and then remove from the fire and
rub through sieve. If necessary,
moisten with more of the broth in
order to work it all through. Return
to the fire, add one teaspoonful of
salt and dash of cayenne. Just be-
fore serving add pint of rich milk,
which is taken from the fire boiling.
Pour the soup over some little toast
croutons and serve Immediately.
