Fish Soup (Cheap and Good)
Dear Aunt Daisy, I am sending you my recipe for fish soup, which I am sure you will think very good. I like my family to have as much fish as they can, and of this soup I find I must make a large saucepanful, as I have eight children, and even the baby loves it! You can, of course, make a@ smaller quantity than this, but use the same proportions. FISH SOUP: Eight fish heads — schnapper are good; 4 pints of. water, 1 finely chopped onion, 2 pints of milk, 1 cup of vermicelli, 2 level teaspoons of cornflour. Put the fish heads into a salt or oatmeal bag, place in a saucepan and add the water and onion. I give it a good hard boiling, then remove the bag, and add the vermicelli; boil till it is cooked, add the milk, cornflour, salt and pepper to taste, and also a knob of butter and a handful of chopped parsley. Sometimes, just as I am going to dish it up, I add a carton of chopped oysters. The main thing is to put the ‘=a heads in a bag.. --"Mother Hubbard" (Matamata).
