Cut into small pieces two carrots, half a turnip, half an onion, two leaves of celery, and two leeks; steam them well for ten minutes in a saucepan with one ounce of butter; then moisten with three pints of consomme (No. 100), adding two tablespoonfuls of rice, half a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook thoroughly for thirty minutes and five minutes before serving put in one cut-up raw tomato.
