Quick Beef Soup.
2 lbs. of lean beef, chopped very fine.
3 pints of water.
1 grated carrot.
1 onion, sliced.
1 grated turnip.
1 clove.
1 tablespoonful of tomato catsup.
Pepper and salt.
Put onion and other vegetables with spice on in two quarts of water, and boil down to three pints. Strain and press over the beef. Season with pepper, salt, and catsup; simmer half an hour, or until the meat is nearly white and the soup brown, and serve with the meat in it. The vegetable liquor must be boiling when it is poured upon the minced beef.
