Cold Celery Broth

Have two medium stalks of fresh celery, thoroughly wash in cold water, drain and finely slice, then place in a saucepan with one and a half pounds finely chopped lean shin of beef, two branches well-cleaned parsley, a branch chervil and a few branches chives, adding whites of two eggs. Season with two teaspoons salt, stir with a wooden spoon for three minutes, then gradually pour in two quarts water and constantly stir while adding. Place pan on the open fire, continually mix till it comes to a boil, shift the pan to a corner of range and let very slowly simmer for one and a half hours, strain the broth through cheesecloth into a stone vessel, let thoroughly cool off, pour into six cups and serve.
