Soup Recipe – Clear Celery Soup

Here are two clear celery soup recipes.

Here is the first. The ingredients we need are:

1 large head of celery or 2 small ones,
1 large Spanish onion,
2 oz. of butter,
pepper and salt to taste, and
1 blade of mace.

Chop the onion and fry it brown in the butter or Allinson vege-butter in the saucepan in which the soup is to be made. When brown, add 4 pints of water, the celery washed and cut into pieces, the mace, the pepper and salt.

Let all cook until the celery is quite soft, then drain the liquid from the vegetables. Return it to the saucepan, boil the soup up, and add 1 oz. of vermicelli, sago, or Italian paste; let the soup cook until this is quite soft, and serve with sippets of crisp toast, or Allinson plain rusks.

Here is the second recipe: We need

1 head celery,
2 tablespoons sago,
2 qts. water.

Wash the celery, chop into small pieces, and stew in the water for 2 hours. Strain. Wash the sago, add it to the clear liquid, and cook for 1 hour. For those who prefer a thick soup, pea-flour may be added.

Allow 1 level tablespoon to each pint of soup. Mix with a little cold water, and add to the boiling soup. One or two onions may also be cooked with the celery, if liked.
