Notes
This soup can be made as a cream soup without meat and is delicious. In this case you take a good sized piece of butter and fry all the vegetables slightly, excepting the potatoes. Now cover all, adding potatoes with boiling water and cook until tender.
When done season and add hot milk and 1 cup cream. This is very fine.
In making this soup without meat omit the tomatoes and use string beans instead.
