The real value of soup is brought out in a fireless cooker. Meats and bones for soup cost but little and the real expense of the dish — the long cooking over a fire, is done away with. The foundation of all soups is the juice or extracts of meats, poultry, etc., that are used, and the true flavor and the nutriment of these things are best preserved by the fireless method of cooking.
