Neapolitan Soup

Neapolitan soup is an Italian twist on traditional chicken noodle soup.

Cut into rather small pieces, one-fourth of a raw chicken, put them into a saucepan with one ounce of butter, one ounce of lean raw ham, half a green pepper, half of a sliced onion and one sliced carrot, and stew gently for ten minutes; then moisten with three pints of white broth, season with one-half tablespoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of pepper and add one tablespoonful of raw rice. Let it simmer for fifteen minutes, or until about half-cooked, then put in one ounce of macaroni in small pieces, and half of a tomato. Boil again for ten minutes, and serve with two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese separately.
