Soup à la Bonne Femme.
2 lbs. of good white fish—halibut, bass, or pickerel will do; 3 eggs; 1 cup of milk; 1 onion; bunch of sweet herbs; 2 tablespoonfuls of butter rubbed in flour; cayenne and salt to taste; a little nutmeg; 3 quarts of water.
Boil together fish, herbs, and onion in cold water for two hours. Strain; pick the fish from the bones, and chop so fine that you can rub it through the colander into the soup. Season, and put back into the soup-pot. Simmer ten minutes and stir in the butter. Heat the milk in a farina-kettle; pour it upon the beaten eggs, and stir over the fire until it begins to thicken. Pour into the tureen, add the soup, stir up well, and serve. It is well to add a pinch of soda to the milk in heating.
