Oatmeal Puree Recipe ingredients

• 1½ cups cooked oatmeal
• 2 small onions, chopped
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 1 pint milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ saltspoon white pepper

To prepare this Oatmeal Puree Recipe, first 1 teaspoon chopped parsley.

Boil the onion and celery in a pint of water until nearly done; add the oatmeal mush and continue to cook until all is soft, adding more boiling water if it becomes too thick. Strain through a rather coarse strainer, pressing the pulp through with a spoon. Add the milk, bring to a boil, then add the butter and other seasoning, sprinkling in the chopped parsley just before serving.

This makes a good nursery soup, either with or without the addition of a teaspoonful of extract of beef. If liked, a blade of mace may be cooked in before straining.
