A Summer Soup.
3 lbs. coarse, lean beef, cut into strips; 1 lb. ham or salt-pork bones; 4 quarts of water; 2 carrots; 2 turnips; 12 very small and young onions, minus the stalks; 1 cup of strained tomato sauce; 1 cup of green peas; ½ cup of green corn, cut from the cob; pepper and salt.
Cook the beef and bones in the water down to two quarts of liquid. Strain, cool, and skim. Meanwhile cut carrots and turnips into neat dice or strips, and parboil with the onions five minutes in boiling water. Return your skimmed and seasoned stock to the fire, and when almost on the boil, put in the parboiled and drained vegetables, with peas and corn. Simmer half an hour, add the tomato sauce, and cook ten minutes more, then pour out.
