Rabbit Soup.
1 large rabbit; 2 lbs. of beef-bones; 2 slices lean corned ham; 1 large onion; bunch of sweet herbs; 2 tablespoonfuls of tomato sauce; 3 quarts of water; raw egg; crumbs.
Put the rabbit, jointed, the cracked bones, sliced ham and onion, and chopped herbs on in the water. Fit a tight cover upon the pot; set a weight on top, and stew four hours. The meat should be in rags. Strain, rubbing the vegetables through the colander. Season, cool, and take off the fat. Put over the fire, add some tomato sauce left from yesterday, boil up, and pour out. Chop a little of the soup-meat fine while the soup is cooling; season; work in some fine crumbs and a beaten egg. Make into balls, flour well, and fry in dripping. Put these into the tureen before the soup goes in.
