water, and add to them the meat, which should be previously pounded with
the bread. Beat all together, and add the lemon-peel, very finely
chopped, and the mace. Pour the boiling stock on the whole, and simmer
for an hour. Rub the eggs in the cream, put in the soup, bring it to a
boil, and serve immediately.
_Time_.--1-1/2 hour. _Average cost_, 1s. 6d. per quart.

stock, and thickening with rice, flour, and milk. Vermicelli should be
served with it.
