HOUSEHOLD

A food bulletin issued to the English
people says. "You must 'make-do
with what you have. The food
question has now become so acute that
as nation we have to consider how
to obtain the last ounce of nurish-
ment from foods of every kind. and
to prepare every dish with that OBJECT
in view"
Here are some of their suggestions for
soup making:
Soup Stock Made From the Feelings
and Trimmings of Vegetables.
Wash we'll all vegetables before
lpeeling being careful to leave no dirt
you will need to use brush to get
rid of it ALL Use the clean peel and
trimmings of any vegetables, such as
carrots, turnips, parsnips, onions.
leeks, celery tops, carrot tops, parsley
stalks and skins of cucumbers. pea
pods. the peel of potatoes and apples,
and the outside leaves of green vege-
tables, which contain valuable miner
al salts excellent for health.
Put all into a saucepan with cold
water. Bring to the boil and simmer
IL to hours. Strain this vegetable
mixture lnTOuBn HuSlln anu you Will
have a clear golden brown stock
ready to make into a delicious health
giving, nourishing soup. Bear in mind
that vegetable stock will not keep
long.
Some people do not like the idea OF
this stock but provided the materials
used are scrupulously clean, and have
not begun to decay it seems at such a
time foolish to throw away valuable
matter.
Thick Soups.
Thick soups need thickening or
binding. In some cases the actual
foundation of soup may in itself sup
ply, or partly supply, the thickening;
these are known as Purees. In other
cases use either: /. Flour (barley flour
corn flour, rice flour or fine oatmeal)
in the proportion of l ounce of flour
to quart of soup. The flour should
be mixed smoothly with little cold
stock or milk before adding 1t to the
soup. After adding the thickening
the soup must be again brought to the
boil and cooked for five minutes %
