Broth, Strengthening

Put into a vessel four pounds of the scrag end of a neck of mutton, freed entirely from fat, and chopped into small pieces, with six pints of water. Boil, skim, draw the pan back, and simmer for an hour. Add three ounces of washed rice, with a turnip and some celery if liked. Simmer for two hours. Strain, free from fat, add salt, and serve.
