MACARONI SOUP—ITALIAN STYLE

Put four and one-half sticks of macaroni into a saucepan with one tablespoonful of butter and one onion. Boil until the macaroni is tender; when done drain and pour over it two quarts of good broth, beef, chicken or other kind. Place the pan on the fire to simmer for about ten minutes, watching lest it break or become pulpy. Add a little grated Parmesan cheese, and serve.
