Soups

Although Homemade Soups are frequently neglected on today’s menus, they are keenly appreciated whenever they appear at table. There is nothing, perhaps, more elegant for a well-planned dinner than a clear consommé or a cream soup, the choice of which would depend on the course to follow. A clear soup should precede a meal that might include a cream sauce. A cream soup should never precede a meal that includes a cream sauce; but it would be ideal before a roast, chicken, beef, steak, or the like.
