Any good simple soup net specially flavored may have grated corn and some milk added to it and will be generally acceptable. For a rule for 30 to 35 persons take:
5 quarts soup stock.
1 or 2 quarts milk.
1 can of corn or a quart of green corn grated.
1 tablespoon minced onion.
1/2 lb, salt pork.
Boil a carrot, turnip and onion with the meat, bones and water that makes the stock. Cut the pork in dice and fry it light brown, and then pour away the fat, boil up the milk in the pork pan to obtain the flavor of the frying, and pour all back into the stock pot. Strain into a clean saucepan, add the minced onion, the corn mashed or grated, boil up and season, and sprinkle a little parsley finely minced.
