If You Like Posies In Vases Don't Visit 'Ike' On S-Day
New York—(UP)—In the springtime when nasturtiums are green and tender, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower likes to concoct a batch of vegetable soup with a few nasturtium stems in it.
S-Day in the Eisenhower household, which usually occurs a couple of days after a fried chicken dinner, is the result of careful planning followed by bold offensive thrusts. $ \textcircled{2} $
In a 750-word recipe contributed to a new edition, out today, of a Columbia faculty wives' cookbook, the new Columbia president outlined his soup tactics in elaborate detail.
"The best time to make vegetable soup isa day or so after you've had fried chicken and out of which you have saved the neck, ribs, and backs, uncooked," the general wrote. "The chicken is not essential, but it does add something."
After detailing his method of making stock by boiling the chicken, a soup bone, and soup meat in "a big kettle—the best kind is heavy aluminum but a good iron pot will do almost as well," the general said that "when the whole thing has practically disintegrated following a day of boiling, the stock is poured into another kettle.
"I usually save a few of the better pieces of meat to be diced and put into the soup after it is done," the general explained. "The rest of it can be given to your dogs or your neighbor's chickens."
Letting the stock stand all night "outdoors in the wintertime or in the ice box." General Eisenhower next day lifts off the hard layer of fat which has formed on top. However,
"Some people like a little bit of the fat left on, and I know a few who like their soup very rich and do not remove more than about half of the fat."
At this point, the general is ready to make his soup. The recipe gives expert advice about boiling the barley in a separate pan because it has a habit of settling to the bottom in a soup kettle and burning.
There were some sage hints thrown in with directions about preparing and cooking the vegetables in the stock:
"One of the secrets of making good vegetable soup is not to cook any of the vegetables too long.
"Your vegetables should not an be dumped in at once. Your potatoes, for example, will cook more quickly than the carrots.
"The fire must not be too hot but the soup should keep bubbling."
The recipe says it's hard to give any exact measure of vegetables because some people like their soup thick, some like it thin. Also, you'll have to decide for yourself when to add each vegetable so they'll be "all nicely cooked, but not mushy, at about the same time."
The recipe ends as follows:
"As a final touch, in the spring-time when nasturtiums are green and tender, you can take a few nasturtium stems, cut them up in small pieces, boil them separately as you did the barley, and add about one tablespoonful of them to your soup."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower
