A friend just sent me this wonderful old American cookbook by Miss Leslie - first published in 1854 - and it's such a wonderful reminder of a simpler time that I've spent the past day flipping through the pages. Among the receipts for transparent puddings, canvasback ducks, oyster pies and fricasseed sweetbreads, I came upon these seasonal soups. Don't you wish you had a store room?
