The Soup Pot
"VE been staying on a farm lately, and the eager appetites, and the heartily-expressed appreciation of the housewife’s fare were enough to gladden the heart of any cook. And good and seasonable fare it was, too. What particularly appealed to me was a huge pot of soup that was already for anyone who might come in half-frozen from drafting sheep, or setting traps. Thanks to this never-failing pot, it
took only a few minutes to put life into the children of the household, when they came home with their blue, pinched faces, and numb hands and feet, after the cold bus ride from school. Each was given a bowl of it, and a good supply of rusks made from the dried crusts and ends of bread, and in just no time they revived after the chill and strain of the long
winter afternoon. 1 did admire this stock pot, which, as I say, never failed, and which produced a variety of the most appetising and nourishing soups which I have ever enjoyed.-(A.C.E. Talk, 4Y A, May 28).
