Mock Turtle Soup No. 2

From a
1897
cook book
===========

.

A Mock Turtle Soup can be made without Calf's Head,

but it is not so nice.
.

The foundation is;
Black Beans, of which a pint are soaked over night.
Fry some slices of Salt Pork brown,
and put in an Onion, which should be browned.
Cut up a pound of lean Beef in small pieces
into five quarts of cold Water,
put in the Beans, the Pork, and the Onion,
and simmer slowly for three hours.
Add slices of Carrot and Turnip,
and a dozen Cloves,
and simmer another hour.
Strain and return to the stove.
Slice one or two Hard Boiled Eggs, and a Lemon,
into a Soup tureen,
season the Soup, and pour it over the Eggs and Lemon.
A wine glass of Sherry improves it.
