BEEF STOCK -2

Ingredients: 1 pound of round of beef, 2 quarts of water, 2 small, new carrots, or 1/2 of a carrot, 1/2 pound of beef bones, 2 small potatoes, 1 onion, 1 tomato, fresh or canned Parsley.

Boil the beef, bones, and vegetables in two quarts of water over a slow fire adding pepper and salt. Skim occasionally, and after two hours add two tablespoons of sherry; then strain through fine soup-strainer or cheesecloth. This is the basis of all the following soups, except when otherwise stated. To make this stock richer, add a turkey leg to above receipt; boil one and a half hours, then add one-half a pound of finely chopped beef. Cook for half an hour longer, then strain.
