• or
• ¼ pound Spanish onions
• 2 sticks of celery
• 1½ pints boiling water

To prepare this White Soup Recipe, first cut the vegetables into small pieces, and cook in the butter for five minutes. Add to water, bring to boiling point, skim, and add one teaspoon salt. Simmer until the vegetables are tender--about thirty minutes. Rub through a sieve. Mix the flour smoothly with a little of the milk. Put the potato and rest of the milk back on the stove into the saucepan; when boiling, add the flour, and cook for ten minutes. Add the peas. Season and serve.
