The quality of the above is exceedingly good, and has been maintained, as the result of the same receipt, from that time to the present (1898) during each season. If the same ingredients were treated with sixteen gallons of water, making 128 pints and producing 10s. 8d., 2s. 8d. balance might be laid out in bread, and a substantial slice given to accompany each pint of soup, for the same cost of one penny. But even then the soup is stronger than that usually furnished at the cheap dinner table for children.

The receipts furnished by the Rev. Canon Moore Ede in his little work, referred to at p. 117, are excellent, and suitable for supplying some variety of cheap nutritious foods for such dinners.
