Chiffonnade Soup

Serve chiffonnade soup with slices of toast for a satisfying lunch or a light supper.

Wash, drain, and chop very fine one quart of sorrel, with the green leaves of a lettuce-head. Brown in a saucepan, with two ounces of butter and a sliced onions seasoning with salt and pepper. Moisten with three pints of white broth, a handful of peas, string beans, and asparagus tops, and boil for three-quarters of an hour with one ounce of butter. Serve with slices of toasted bread.
