Canned
Corn Soup
1 can green
corn
1 cup milk
Open a can of
green corn, turn it into a graniteware dish, and thoroughly mash
with a potato-masher until each kernel is broken, then rub through
a colander to remove the skins.
Add or leave
out 1/2 cup of rich milk to make the soup of the desired consistency.
Season with salt, reheat, and serve.
If preferred,
a larger quantity of milk and some cream may be used, and the soup,
when reheated, thickened with a little corn starch or flour. It
may be turned through the colander a second time or not, as preferred.
