Creole
Soup
2 lbs fresh
beef
1/4 peck of okra
1 qt tomatoes
5 large onions
3-5 Tbs flour
Take two pounds
fresh beef; put this in a dinner-pot, with two gallons of water;
after boiling two hours, throw in a quarter of a peck of okra, cut
into small slices, and about a quart of ripe tomatoes, peeled and
cut up; slice four or five large onions; fry them brown, and dust
in several spoonfuls of flour.
Add pepper,
salt and parsley, or other herbs to your taste, about an hour before
the soup is finished; it will require six hours moderate boiling.
