Beetroot Soup

Cleanse carefully, boil, and peel two fine beetroots; boil also two onions and mince them together with the beetroot very finely. Take three or four table-spoonfuls of vinegar and one of brown sugar, with rather more than half a gallon of good gravy soup; add this to the mixture of beetroot and onion, and put it into a saucepan to boil, when some small pieces of cold veal or other meat, well covered with flour, may be boiled and served up in it. Probable cost, without gravy, 6d. Time to boil with the soup, until the onions are tender.
