Autumn Soup

Cut into thin slices the white parts of four leeks, the same of two heads of celery, and a lettuce; wash, and throw them into boiling broth; add a pint of young peas, a little sugar and pepper, two large spoonfuls of flour, mixed thinly and smooth with some cold stock. Stir the broth with a table-spoon to render it smooth, and after boiling it an hour and a half pour it into the tureen with little "crusts" of bread fried in dripping. These last should be carefully dried in the hot closet so that they shall be crisp and not greasy. Probable cost, 1s. 2d., without the stock.
