Man shall not live bv bread alone.' Bible. To make nutritious, healthful and palatable soup, with flavors properly commingled, is an art which requires much study and practice. There seems to be a general impression that soups should be made from almost noth-' ing, but this is a great mistake, although it often happens that a scanty allotment of material makes a delicate and truly good soup, but in a very small quantity. A supply of materials for soup-making should always be kept on hand, such as dried sweet herbs (which may be purchased already dried if the housewife does not grow them herself), whole and ground spices and fresh vegetables. In every pantry should be an earthenware bowl for keeping the remnants of steaks, the bones from roasts, etc., anything, in fact, that can be used in soup. After breakfast or dinner the wise and careful housewife will look over the steaks, chops or roast and put by themselves any pieces that can be again used, either cold or for entrees (made dishes). Then all the bones, trimmings and the gravy will be put in the earthenware bowH just mentioned, to be used for soup. All remnants of cooked vegetables will be saved, and the water in which has been boiled a leg of mutton, a fowl, a 70 SOUPS. J I fresh tongue or a piece of beef will be utilized as a basis for soup. Soup may either be made with what is called '* stock " (when meat is the material used for founda- tion), or it may be made without stock and is then called sotipe maigre. SOUP WITH STOCK.
