No. 20 Potato Soup
(Very suitable for children.)
1½ pounds potatoes.
2 onions.
1 tablespoon sago.
2 pints water.
½ pint milk.
1½ ounces butter.
1 teaspoon salt.
½ teaspoon pepper.
Peel and slice the potatoes and onions, and fry them for ten minutes in the butter, but without browning them. Place them in a saucepan with the water, salt and pepper (the latter should be omitted if for young children), and boil for an hour; add sago and milk, boil for about ten minutes, stirring all the time, then rub through a wire sieve with a wooden spoon, and serve.
