Haricot Soup.
- Ingredients—1 pint of haricot beans.
- 1 onion.
- 2 quarts of water.
- 1 pint of milk.
- ½ oz. of dripping.
- Pepper and salt to taste.
Method.—Soak the beans over night in cold water.
Boil them with the onion, dripping, pepper and salt, in three pints of water, from three to four hours, until quite soft.
Rub them with their liquor through a wire sieve.
Add the milk, and make the soup hot, stirring it over the fire until it boils.
Serve with fried croutons of bread.
Note.—This soup is much improved if it is rubbed through a hair sieve after it has been through the wire sieve.
