CHICKEN SOUP
Time, four hours. Boil two chickens with great care, skimming constantly, and keeping them covered with water. When tender, take out the chickens and remove every bone from the meat; put a large piece of butter into a frying-pan and sprinkle the chicken meat well with flour, lay in the hot pan; fry a nice brown and keep it hot and dry. Take a pint of the chicken water and stir in two large spoonfuls of curry powder, two of butter and one of flour, one teaspoonful of salt and a little cayenne; mix it with the broth in the pot; when well mixed, simmer five minutes, then add the browned chicken. Serve with rice.
