| GREEN PEA SOUP WITH
MINT |

- 1 onion
- 1 large sprig mint
- 1 teaspoon salt

Shell the peas and break up the pods. Wash the pods and boil
for two or three hours in the water in which other vegetables
have been cooked, if possible. Strain and add the peas, the onion,
mint, salt, and sugar, and three pints of water in which the
pods were cooked. Cook until peas are tender, then rub through
a sieve. Add butter and bring to boiling point. Season more if
needed, and just before serving add the egg yolk diluted with
the cream. Cook, stirring constantly for five minutes, but do
not allow the liquid to boil. Strain and serve with croutons.
