1 qt. water

1 Tbsp. flour

1 qt. green peas

1 Tbsp. margarine

1 celery stalk

Reserve one-half cup peas, and to the stock and water add the rest of the peas, the celery stalk, onion and turnip diced, and the mint. Stew until the mass is tender. Strain through a sieve or course cheese- cloth. Thin with stock, if necessary; bind with a roux of flour and fat and season with salt, pepper, and a little sugar.
