297. PUREE OF ARTICHOKES.
TURN or peel the bottoms of a dozen fine artichokes, and, after taking out the fibrous part inside, cut each into four pieces; put them into a large stewpan previously well buttered, and strewn with a little pounded sugar—placing the pieces of artichokes closely beside each other, and then set them on a slow fire to stew very gently, that they may acquire a light brown colour. Then proceed in every respect to finish this soup in the same manner as directed for Palestine soup.
