Rice Soup, Superior

Wash well four ounces of rice, and boil it in two quarts of veal stock till tender, drain it, and put the stock with half the rice back into the stewpan, rub the rest through a fine sieve, then stir it into the soup, and let it boil up. Beat the yolks of three eggs with half a pint of cream, take the soup off the fire for two minutes, then add the eggs and cream gradually, and stir the soup unceasingly for three or four minutes until it is thoroughly hot, but it must not boil again or the eggs will curdle. Time, two hours. Sufficient for eight or ten persons.
