    Mrs Crocombe is making a light soup using rhubarb from the kitchen garden at Audley End House.
    INGREDIENTS
    6 stalks of rhubarb
    1 litre veal or beef stock
    1 small onion
    2 thin slices of bread, plus extra for croutons
    Salt and pepper
    METHOD
    Take half a dozen sticks of fine young rhubarb, peel them, and cut them into short lengths.
    Throw the rhubarb into a quart of good veal or beef stock and add a moderate sized onion, two thin slices of bread, and a little salt and pepper.
    Let the liquor boil, remove the scum as it rises, and simmer the soup until the fruit is quite tender - around 30 minutes.
    Strain it, and serve with toasted sippets.

      She would roast you and serve you with a garnish of parsley. She wouldn't spill the tea though, it would probably make lord and lady Brabrook very upset. It's also not very dignified.

      She has a _School Ma'am_ quality that would never have tolerated a misspelling of such a word as "they're". As in "they're associated with the poor". Though I daresay, a _well-to-do_ Victorian mother would've chastised the governess for such slips in her teaching.

      Croutons are baked or toasted bread that is either overcooked to make a bit hard or has been left to air a bit and hardens by exposure to the air.
      Helps to give texture, or a bite, to soups or salads where there wouldn't be one. Also adds fiber to the dish

      Mrs Crocombe is a servant herself, but she also has servants working under her too. The cook is of a more upper level than the kitchen maids and remember most cooks were male then, Mrs Crocombe was a special case, a woman who climbed her way to the level of cook.
      She is a mid range servant, not the lowest not the highest but one of the highest yes. She sits at a different, higher level, servants table than the others too.
      Why were onions associated with the poor anyhow? Onions make flavor! Shallot too.

      Oysters are also associated with the poor . as Dickens wrote " oysters and poverty always seemed to go hand in hand " that's because you didn't need to cook them in order to consume them . most poor people lived cheek by Jowl in crumbling tenements that had no kitchens much less stoves . most of their cooking ( when they could actually afford something TOO cook was done in the ovens of the neighborhood baker )

    I made this!
    I followed the instructions as best I could, even adding the tomato and bacon to the stock and straining that prior to adding the rhubarb and onion. I added a bit of thyme to the soup, which I think helped.
    I have never had rhubarb before I made the soup, but I noticed a slight tang to the soup which was interesting. I made it for an event at work, and this rhubarb soup was awarded 'Most Unique'!
    I would likely make this soup again!

      Spiral Breeze - I agree. My mother made stewed rhubarb as a desert & I've heard of rhubarb pie, but the idea of using it as a soup never occurred to me. Since my grocery store never has the young stalks, I'm not sure how it would turn out with the older, more strongly flavored stalks. Rhubarb is very tart when it's red. I think I will look for a recipe with tamarind, which I can never get. Perhaps I can substitute rhubarb⁉️
