309. CRECY SOUP WITH WHOLE RICE.
WASH, blanch, and boil in consommé, half a pound of Carolina rice;
add this to a sufficient quantity of Crécy or carrot soup, either pre-
pared for the occasion, or reserved from the previous day's dinner.
Mix these together gently, and take care not to break the grains of
rice, nor to serve it too thick.
Note.—This may be varied by substituting macaroni, vermicelli,
or any other kind of Italian paste for the rice. This rule is applicable
to purées of vegetables in general.
