Cut in square-shaped pieces two carrots, half a turnip, an eighth of a cabbage, half an onion, one potato, and two leaves of celery. Steam them for ten minutes with two ounces of butter in a saucepan; then moisten with three pints of white broth (No. 99); season with half a tablespoonful of salt, and a teaspoonful of pepper. Cook for thirty minutes, and when serving add six thin slices of bread.
