§ XXVI. Vegetable Soup. (Coulis de Racines.)

I compose and prepare a vegetable soup in the usual way; I make the soup so rich, that a bottle of the size of a litre can supply a dish for twelve persons, by adding two litres of water to it, before it is made use of. When it has grown cool, I put it in bottles, to give it half an hour’s boiling in the water-bath.
