32. Pigeon Soup for Invalids. The broth is prepared as directed under No. 1, and
scalded rice is added immediately after the broth is skimmed; a few fresh
carrots or green peas, or 1/2 hour before serving some asparagus tips or a
little cauliflower (the latter must first be cooked) may be added. The soup must
cook not less than 2 hours, because only old pigeons are to be used; it should
be well bound but not too thick, and if the invalid is entirely free from fever,
the half of the yolk of a fresh egg may be stirred into it. Instead of rice,
pearl barley is frequently put into soups of this kind; the barley must first be
scalded, slightly browned in butter, cooked with a few spoonfuls of the broth
and be allowed to draw on top of the stove until the pigeon soup has cooked for
about an hour; then cook them in the soup until completely done, after which a
few asparagus tips only are added.
33. Veal Soup for Invalids. Take a good chunky piece of veal, skim the broth
through a strainer, put in small piece of fresh butter and some scalded rice,
and cook until done with asparagus and cauliflower which have first been
separately cooked. The yolk of a fresh egg or a trifle of nutmeg or finely
chopped parsley may be stirred in the soup if it is not contrary to the
physician's directions.
34. Beef Broth Soup (Puree) for Invalids. Make a good clear beef broth according
to No. 1; in 1 large cupful cook 2 heaping teaspoonfuls of grated wheat-bread
and after passing it through a sieve stir into it the breast of a chicken very
finely chopped, which has first been thoroughly mixed with 2 tablespoonfuls of
sweet cream. The soup must not be cooked again and the yolk of an egg can be
stirred in if desired.
35. Game Soup with Tapioca. Take a partridge and make a clear broth free from
fat, stir 2 even tablespoonfuls of tapioca with 4 tablespoonfuls of sherry, cook
for 10 minutes in the broth, and finally add a few asparagus tips or small
cauliflowers, which have previously been cooked in salted water until done. Any
other kind of game can be used, but it must first be slightly roasted, covered
