Macaroni
Soup
1/2 lb small
macaroni
2 qts water or vegetable
stock
3/4 lb onions
1 lb tomatoes
Break the macaroni
into small pieces and add to the stock when nearly boiling. Cook
with the lid off the saucepan until the macaroni is swollen and
very tender (This will take about an hour).
If onions are
used for flavoring, steam separately until tender, and add to soup
just before serving.
If tomatoes
are used, skin and cook slowly to pulp (without water) before adding.
If the vegetable stock is already strong and well flavored, no addition
of any kind will be needed.
