Soup Stock

Three pounds of lamb, neck or breast, two pounds beef shank well cut. Pour on this six quarts of cold water, let it come quickly to the boiling point and skim; set it back and let it boil one hour. Take one onion, one carrot, one turnip, three outside stalks of celery, chop the vegetables and add to stock. Let it simmer five hours and strain. Let it stand over night, skim off the grease and strain through muslin. Keep in a cold place. Mrs. Bunn.

Beep Soup

One beef shank, one gallon of cold water, one egg, one-half dozen whole cloves. Crack the bones of the shank and wipe well. Break the egg and stir shell and all in the water and turn over the shank, add the cloves and set over the fire where it will come to a slow boil, then skim thoroughly. Let the stock simmer after the skimming, all day. Remove the shank from the liquor, which strain. Skim when cold. One pint of this jelly is sufficient, when diluted, for soup for six persons. Mrs. P. W. Talbott.
