Palestine Soup

• three pounds of Jerusalem artichokes
• two quarts of stock
• one onion
• one turnip
• one head of celery
• pepper and salt to taste

Peel and cut the vegetables into slices and boil them in stock until tender, then rub through a hair sieve. Beat the yolks of three eggs, add to the soup, and stir over the fire till just to the boiling point.

The soup should be about the thickness of rich cream. If not thick enough, a little potato flour may be added.
