Red Bisque with Snowballs

Chop fine one pint each of oysters and clams, add to these and their liquor enough hot water to make two quarts.

Add the mashed coral from one lobster, one teaspoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of paprika, a bit of mace, an onion and one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, cook three minutes, pour into a sauce made of two tablespoons of butter, two of flour, one and one-half cups of hot milk, and one cup of tomato pulp. When boiling, strain and serve, putting a snowball in each plate on its way to the table.
