Artichoke Soup
4 artichokes
1 pint water
1 pint milk
1 onion
Boil the artichokes in a pint of water. Mash them. Press them through a sieve, and mix them again with the water in which they were boiled.
Boil an onion in the milk. Remove the onion. Add the milk to the artichokes. Bring to the boil. Season. Serve with croûtons (see [p. 103]).
