Vegetable Soup.

A good vegetable soup is made in this way: Brown in three tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan a sliced onion, a sliced carrot, a sliced tomato, a sliced turnip, a stick of celery and a parsnip. After they have browned slowly for 15 minutes, add a quart and a pint of cold water and three or four tomatoes, two or three more stalks of celery, some parsley and a carrot, and simmer gently for an hour or so. Then add three tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs and rub the iJoup through a strainer. Season well with Pepper and salt, and after it is removed from the fire add a couple of tiblespoonfuis of butter. Serve with finely minced parsley sprinkled ovqr the top and pass croutons with it.
