1 large head of celery OR 2 small ones
1 large Spanish onion

Chop the onion and fry it brown in the butter in the saucepan in which the soup is to be made. When brown, add 4 pints of water, the celery washed and cut into pieces, the mace, the pepper and salt.

Let all cook until the celery is quite soft, then drain the liquid from the vegetables.
