Pot Au Feu

Ingredients

• 14 soups
• cloves

Directions

1. Take a good-sized beef-bone with plent}7 of meat on it, extract the marrow and place in a pot on the back of the range, covering the beef with three or more quarts of cold water; cover tightly, and allow to simmer slowly all day long. The next day, before heating, remove the cake of grease from the top, and add a large onion (previously stuck full of whole cloves and then roasted in the oven till of a rich brown color), adding tomatoes or any other vegetable which one may fancy. A leek or a section of garlic adds much to the flavor. Rice may be added, or vermicelli for a change. Just before serving burn a little brown sugar and stir through it. This gives a peculiar flavor and rich color to the soup.
