• pepper
• 1/2 carrot
• 2 turnips
• 2 onions
• 2 cloves

Take the beef and breast of mutton; put both pieces in a crockery kettle with the cold water, salt, and pepper, set on a slow fire; skim carefully, then add the carrot, turnips, onions with one clove stuck in each, celery, leeks, parsley, and garlic. Simmer four or five hours; dish the meat with carrots, turnips, and leeks around, to be served after the soup if you choose; strain the broth, skim the fat off, put back on the fire, give one boil; have croutons in the soup-dish, pour over them, and serve.
