1-1/2 lbs. of French beans or scarlet runners, 1 onion, 1 carrot, 1 stick of celery, 1/2 oz. of butter,
1 teaspoonful of thyme, 2 quarts of water, pepper and salt to taste, and 2 oz. of Allinson fine
wheatmeal. String the beans and break them up in small pieces, cut up the other vegetables and
add them to the water, which should be boiling; add also the butter and pepper and salt. Allow
all to cook until thoroughly tender, then rub through a sieve. Return the soup to the saucepan
(adding more water if it has boiled away much), and thicken it with the wheatmeal; let it simmer.
It's delicious!
Bon apetit!
