Mutton Broth.
3 lbs. of lean mutton; 2 turnips; 1 carrot; 2 onions; bunch of parsley; 1 cup of milk; 1 tablespoonful of corn-starch; 3 quarts of water.
Boil meat, cut into strips, and the vegetables, sliced, in the water two hours and a half. The water should be reduced one-third. Strain, taking out the meat, and rubbing the vegetables to a pulp through the colander. Cool, skim, season, and return to the fire. Heat, stir in the corn-starch wet up with water, and pour into the tureen. Add the milk, boiling hot, stir well, and serve.
