Beetroot Soup by Florence George, 1908
1 lb cooked beetroot
2 oz celery
2 oz onion
1 oz carrot

Cut the beetroot into small pieces, and cook with the other vegetables in the
butter for five minutes. Add the water, and cook for thirty minutes. Remove the
onion, celery, and carrot, and rub the beetroot through a hair-sieve. Mix the
flour smoothly with a little milk, and boil the rest. Stir in the flour, and
cook for ten minutes. Add the beetroot; boil up. Season and serve.
