VALUE IN MILK SOUPS.

A large variety of soups may be
made by utilizing not only milk but
also leftover portions of vegetables
and other foods. In making them
allow from one-half to one level table
spoon of -four to each cup of liquid
(including milk and the juice and pulp
of vegetables) and one level table
spoon of butter or other fat.
Some of the fiavors which may be
used are onions, corn, asparagus, cab
bage, caulifiower, peas, beans, toma-
toes, salmon or other fish, celery, spin
ach or grated cheese. These soups are
nourishing and oftentimes a child not
fond of milk can be persuaded to get
down the daily quart necessary for his
health by having part of it made into
a milk soup.
