Ingredients

  • Quarter of a pound of salt pork
  • three large table-spoonfuls of butter
  • three large young onions
  • half a small head of cabbage
  • three potatoes
  • half a small carrot
  • half a small white turnip
  • three table-spoonfuls of flour
  • two quarts of water
  • six large slices of toasted bread
  • salt
  • pepper
  • one small parsnip

Method

  1. Cut the pork into thin slices; place these in the soup pot and let them fry out slowly.

  2. Have the vegetables (except the potatoes) cut quite fine, and when the pork is cooked, put the vegetables into the pot with it.

  3. Cover tightly, and let cook very gently for one hour.

  4. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

  5. Add boiling water and let simmer gently for one hour, then add the sliced potatoes and flour mixed with a little cold water.

  6. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently an hour longer.

  7. Serve over toasted bread.
