Th y are rich in flavor if well made, less expensive and as nourishing as soups made of meat. In many instances fish is added to the vegetables and proves rather an innovation. Fish is coming into high repute as a source of protein and other substances needed in the balanc- ed diet, and we will add here two or three recipes for the house- v ives'pproval. I'otato Soup Pare and slice six good-sized white potatoes and put in large saucepan with a sliced Spanish oriion, a cupful of chopped cel- ery, a few sprays of parsley, and a slice of stale bread. Cover with three pints of water and cook until the potato.s are soft, acl- ding pepper, salt and a tea- spoonful of )Vorcestershire sauce. Put through a fine sieve, return to the saucepan and add a pint of hot milk, then thicken ivith a little butter and flour worked to a smooth paste. their thickene:l strain into the turee» and add a small can of shrimps that have been picked over and halved lengthways. Tomato Soup Take a large can of tomatoes and put into the soup pot with three cans of water. Add a large sliced onion, a cupful of celery, a sliced leek, a sliced carrot, a few large leaves of lettuce, half a bud of garlic, a diced pot &to, a thin slice of bacon, pepper, salt, a tablespoonful of sugar, and a saltspoonful of curry powder. Cook ge»tly for a half hour, ther add a codfish steak cut an inch or more thick and cook it until it is doric. Lift the fish and re- move the skin and bones th ow- ing them back into the soup. Cut the fish in small portions. Let the soup cook for 20 n'.inutes more, then strain, thicken to ccn- sistcncy of cold honey, and strain into the tureen. In each serving plate place a piece of fi:h and pour the soup over it. Vegetable Soup with Oysters 41ake a vegetable soup, using the same formula as for the to- mato soup, only add the piece of fish and allow it to boil svith the soup until it goes to pieces. Thicken this soup as already dir- ect d and strain it, then return it to the clean kettle a»d wheri it reaches boiling point drop in a dozen and a half freshly opened oysters and poach them two min- utes until the beards curl, then serve. Dried I'ea Soup IVash a cupful of green dried peas and put them in the kettle with a large sliced onion, a scarit quarter pound of diced salt pork and two quarts of water. Cook slowly, stirring frequently until thick arid smooth. If it gets too thick add a little more boil- ing water. Serve without strain- ing, Add pepper, salt and a tea- spoonful of sugar. This is rich and nourishing soup which thickens itself in cooking. Vegetable i1Iock Turtle Soup I"ry six good sliced onions in an ounce of butter uritil delicate- ly browned. Add two brbakfast cupfuls of leritils, a pint of washed spinach leaves, a table- spoonful of capers, six chopped peppers with seed cones remov- ed, and three pints of water.
