Italian Soup Recipe

Take 2 oz. Macaroni,
2 quarts Water or Pot Boilings,
2 Tomatoes,
1 oz. Butter and
2 oz. Cheese Rind.

Put the water or stock on to boil, and when it boils put in the macaroni and boil from twenty-five to thirty minutes.

While it is boiling grate up a dry piece of cheese.

Put the tomatoes into boiling water and remove the skin, slice them up and put them into a saucepan with the butter and some pepper and salt, and cook them for a few minutes.

When the macaroni is soft, cut it into pieces one inch long, put a layer of tomatoes at the bottom of the soup tureen, then a layer of grated cheese, then one of macaroni; repeat this until all the materials are used up, pour over it boiling the liquor in which the macaroni has been cooked, cover down for a few minutes, and serve.
