Turnip Soup. No. 1. White.
Prepare any time, but serve very hot.
Slice 8 or 9 turnips, 1 large onion, and a stick of celery, and boil all for 5 mintues in water; then drain well, and put into a stewpan with 1 qt. of white stock, the crumb of a French roll, and a slice of lean ham.
Let all cook slowly on the stove; mash it with a wooden spoon, and pass through the tammy with a little more stock, as it should not be thick. Season as required.
Add cream or boiled milk the last thing.
