WHITE SOUP (another way) (Into six quarts of water put)

Into six quarts of water put a knuckle of veal, one large fowl cut into quarters, a pound of lean ham, half a pound of rice, two anchovies, a few peppercorns, two or three onions, a bundle of sweet herbs, and three or four heads of celery. Stew all together till the soup becomes sufficiently strong, then strain it through a hair sieve into an earthen pot; after it has stood all night, take off the fat, and pour the clear soup off into a stewpan, and put into it half a pound of almonds beaten very smooth, boil a short time, and run the soup through a lawn sieve; then put in a pint of cream and the yolk an egg. Serve hot.
