Comment on Method

Surprising as it may seem, we had a farmhouse vegetable soup on the menu at the fashionable Royal Ascot Hotel. As a soup it was the best seller, beating real turtle and royal game. This basic method is the recipe we used. The kumera is a Maori vegetable grown in New Zealand—a type of sweet potato.

Method of Preparation

1. Peel chilled vegetables or, if good skins, then just wash well and slice.
2. Measure out stock and cream.
3. Tie herbs together.
