PUREES OF CREAM.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The puree or cream is quite a thick soup, very palatable and substantial. It is
made out of fowl, game, vegetables, or fish. In every case you have first to
cook well the particular materials until tender and to sift them through a
sifter to obtain quite a clear pap; to which you add what the French cooks call
a "liaison," binding, to unite all the parts together. This is made with yolks,
cream and butter (also sometimes flour or starch), and don't forget
1st. That this "liaison" should be added only when ready to serve
2d. That the sauce pan shall be placed on a corner of the range and that you
should add some of the hot pap to your "liaison" before you pour it in the sauce
pan.
3d. That you should never allow a soup to boil after you have poured in a
"liaison."
