ABOUT OLD
FASHIONED GOODNESS
For the busy homemaker,
having soup for a meal
usually means opening a
can. Condensed soups offer
speed and convenience, but
homemade soups can be just
as convenient with a lot
more to offer. When time
permits, most cooks prefer a
soup that starts with fresh
ingredients that cook slowly,
filling the kitchen with
delectable aromas.
For all their goodness,
homemade soups are a
bargain, since they can be
made from leftovers, with
the cost per serving ap
proximately half that of
condensed soups. And, the
variety is endless. Besides
being economical, soup as a
main dish is nutritious.
_By preparing several
batches at one time, the
convenience of homemade
soups is greatly enhanced.
Save some for the following
dav, and freeze the rest
Then, soups can go from
freezer to range to table with
a minimum of preparation
and cleanup.
Homemade goodness is*
really at its best when the
foundation of soups is beef
stock or broth. For those of
you who like to experiment

in the kitchen, a pinch of i’. 3
and a dab of that can lead to
a perfect combination for
creating unique soups. The
secret is to add just enough
of any one seasoning when
using several. The mingling
of lots of flavors, when done
on a small scale, will
produce the full-bodied
flavor that makes
homemade soups so special.
One way to make a good
hearty main dish soup is in
, your electric blender or food
processor. Begin with
cooked meats and leftover
vegetables. If a creamy soup
is desired, add a little cooked
potato, rice, or macaroni as
a thickener with no further
cooking required. Sunnly
blend, heat, and serve.
Remember the im
portance of garnishes. That
finishing touch should not be
forgotten when serving
soups. Try crumbled cheese,
avocado slices, thin radish
slices, thinly sliced celery
rings, sauteed mushrooms,
thinly sliced olive rings,
crumbled hard-cooked egg,
sour cream or grated
cheese.
TIPS TO MAKE
FALL HOUSECLEANING
A BREEZE
Are you planning to turn
your house inside out this
Fall? Help speed up your
cleaning by organizing
Supplies and equipment - the
key to faster completion of
any job! Save steps by
preparing a well-stocked
carrying caddy of needed
items for a given area. Use a
basket or carton lined with
soft towels to carry bric-a
brac to the sink for washing.
Have a double-sided pail
or two separate pails, so both
cleaning solution and rinse
water are at the job site. An
ample supply of sponges and
cloths for washing, dusting,
rinsing, and polishing is
helpful. A sturdy stepstool or
ladder is a must for reaching
high places.- Brooms, mops,
scrub brushes, steel wool
pads and pads for kneeling
should be gathered together
before beginning any
cleanup project. Also include
an old toothbrush, cotton
swabs or pipe cleaners. They
are invaluable aids in
working lather into crevices
and hard-to-reach areas.
Besides the necessary
detergents, soaps, and
cleansers, check your supply
of polishes and waxes for
floors, furniture, silver and
other metals. Be sure to
have on band any special
cleaners for tile, rug or toilet
bowl. For safety’s sake and
bpst results, read labels on
all cleaning products before
using.
When your housecleaning
is finished, store all supplies
and equipment in a con
venient place. There are
numerous space savers
available which can be at
tached to closet walls or
doors to air storage of
cleaning products and tools.
Make a list of household
cleaners which need to be
replaced prior to future
cleaning projects. Launder
cloths and sponges. Wash,
rinse and dry brooms, mops
vacuums cleaner at
tachments, even the caddy,
before storing.
Chickens under the
American class: one of the
recognized breeds is the
Plymouth Rock, which has
seven varieties: Barrel
White, Buff, Silver-Penciled,
Partridge, Columbian, and
Blue. There are 12 other
breeds in the American
class, including the
Delawares, established in
1952.
