Poor Roger’s Soup.
The bones of yesterday’s roast boiled down in 3 pints of water to 1 pint; 1 pint of stock left from yesterday’s soup; 6 parboiled potatoes sliced thin; ¼ cabbage sliced small; 1 tablespoonful of butter rolled in flour; 1 sliced and fried onion; 1 quart of hot water.
Parboil the cabbage; then put it on, with the potatoes and fried onion, in the hot water; cook until the cabbage is tender, and the potatoes broken to pieces. Take the fat from the top of your stock; add the latter to the cabbage-soup; season to taste; stir in the floured butter; cook five minutes, and pour out.
