365. PUREE OF FOWL A LA CELESTINE.
Roast off two fowls; as soon as they are cold, pound the meat
thereof in a mortar, together with six ounces of blanched Jordan
almonds, and eight yolks of eggs, beginning with the almonds, then
adding the yolks of eggs, and lastly the fowl. Dilute with the
chicken broth made with the carcasses of the fowls; rub the purée
through the tammy, and put it into a soup-pot, to be kept in the cool
till dinner-time; when, after having warmed it, add a pint of boiling
cream, and send to table.
A plate of duchess’ crusts should be sent to table with this soup,
to be handed round.
