BEAN SOUP, OR PUREE OF RED HARICOT BEANS .-- Put a quart of red haricot beans into soak overnight, and put a little piece of soda in the water to soften it.

The next morning put the beans on to boil in three quarts of water, with some carrot, celery and onion, or the beans can be boiled in some stock made from these vegetables.

After the beans are tender, pound them in a mortar, and then rub the whole through a wire sieve, after first removing the carrot, celery and onion.

Add a teaspoonful of pounded sugar and about two ounces of butter.

Fried or toasted bread should be served with the soup.
