Mock Bisque Soup

A large tablespoonful of butter, I bay-leaf, A blade of mace, 14 teaspoonful of baking soda, I pint of canned tomatoes or one pint of stewed tomatoes, A sprig of parsley, I teaspoonful of sugar, 3 tablespoonfuls of flour.

Put the tomatoes in a saucepan with the bay-leaf, parsley and mace. Cover and stand on the back part of the stove fifteen minutes. Put the milk in a double boiler; rub the butter and flour together, add to the milk and stir until it thickens. Press the tomatoes through a sieve sufficiently fine to remove the seeds. Then put them into the soup tureen. Add the sugar and soda and then pour in quickly the boiling milk. Stir and serve immediately. This mock bisque soup must not go over the fire after the milk and tomatoes are mixed or they will separate. If not ready to serve, keep the tomatoes hot and the milk hot, but separately. Then mix and add the soda and sugar just the moment of serving time.
