Homemade
soup, stock or broth can be made from
bones and trimmings of meat
and vegetables, and costs almost nothing. With some little time devoted
to prepare ingredients for cooking, soup will cook itself while other
preparations are going on. It can be made at any time and just boiled
up when
required.
Soup will give
the great amount of nourishment with the least trouble to the
digestive organs and it
is
a valuable aid for weakly and delicate constitutions,
for the young and the aged, and it is appreciated invaluable healthy
tonic for the busy
workers. There is no better food to put digestive
organs in a proper state to do hard work of digestion. A little soup
prepares the stomach for the more solid food to follow.
It is quite
a mistake to suppose that a rich, heavy soup is necessary, and that a
large quantity must be taken. In either case, the effect would be to
take away the appetite, instead of which it is to stimulate and
encourage the appetite that the soup should be given. |
