Place in a saucepan a pint of bechamel (No. 154). One pint of white broth (No. 99), half a tablespoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of pepper, and let simmer on the corner of the fire for fifteen minutes. Add to this half a pint of cream of asparagus (No. 70) and one ounce of butter; when finished boiling, put in the tureen six soft-boiled and well-pared pigeon eggs, and the breast of one pigeon cut in julienne; pour the soup over, and serve.
