Quick Beef Soup.
- 2 lbs. of lean beef, chopped very fine.
- 3 pints of water.
- 1 grated carrot.
- 1 onion, sliced.
- 1 grated turnip.
- 1 clove.
- 1 tablespoonful of tomato catsup.
- Pepper and salt.
Put onion and other vegetables with spice on in two quarts of water, and boil down to three pints. Strain and press over the beef.

The vegetable liquor must be boiling when it is poured upon the minced beef.
