    have been boiled, and mix thoroughly; add one des- sert spoonful of sugar, and stir until it boils. Boil fifteen minutes and strain. Plain Tomato Soup.—Cut in halves half a peck of tomatoes and put them in a kettle with just enough water to cover them. Boil twenty minutes and strain, being particular to get all through except the skins and seeds. Cut some pork in pieces an inch square, and add pepper and salt, a little sugar, and very little flour. Boil one hour. Green Corn Soup.—Five hours required to prepare. One dozen ears of corn; out through each row of kernels, and cut all off the cobs. Break the cobs in several pieces and put them into a kettle with just enough water to cover them. Let them boil two and a half hours. Take them out and scrape them with a knife to remove all the corn, then into the same water pour the corn and let it boil perfectly tender, say one and a half hours. Add salt and a little red and black pepper. About half an hour before dinner, pour in one pint of cream and one pint of new milk, and let it boil well. Remove from the fire and stir in until dissolved a piece of butter. Any amount of cream improves it.
