In the/“Ninstrated London Ceokery Book,” ‘hiy Frederick Bishop, late cui- siner tofSt. James' palace, Earl Grey, the Mymuis of Stafford. Baron Rothr schild] Earl Norbury, Captain Dun- and many of the first families of ‘Grgat Britain (1852), we find this wgcipe for:soupe a la Crecy: # "“Cut half a pound of lean ham in Tdiee. three oniops, four turnips, twelve ‘carots (thesouter side red only), a head of eelery. n fagot of sweet herbs, two bladles />f macy, six cloves, a bay leaf and hsif a pound of salt butter.
