RICH MACCARONI SOUP.

Take a quart of clear gravy soup, and boil in it a pound of the
best maccaroni cut into pieces. When it is tender, take out half
of the maccaroni, and add to the remainder two quarts more of the
soup. Boil it till the maccaroni is entirely dissolved and
incorporated with the liquid. Strain it; then return it to the
soup-pan, and add to it the remainder of the maccaroni, (that was
taken out before the pieces broke,) and put in a quarter of a
pound of grated Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer awhile, but take it
up before it comes to a boil.

It may be made with milk instead of gravy soup.
