PAGBTEN BLYTHEVTI.LB (ARK.) COURIER THURSDAY, JANUARY 21,1954 This Lobster Chowder Good Prelude to Meal CECILY BROWNSTONE Press Food Editor A hostess trick from a famous cook book author! Irma Rombauer, the distinguished and charming of "The Joy of Cooking" (Bobbs-Merrlin, has been visiting in New York City, and while I was cooking dinner for her at my house one night, the let me in on one her own secrets. Mrs. Rombauer lives In Si Louis and has a small countr house in the Ozark foothills. It In the country that she has lot of company during week ends; It 1 there, she says, that finds 1 a big help to serve soup as a course. She ladles it into cups and brings it to her they sit down to on a tray.

Then ss they are enjoying this, she says onion, cup finely diced celery, llicups water, 1 small bay leaf, one 10-ounce package frozen mixed vegetables (defrosted), one 3-ounce can chopped broiled mushrooms, 1 tablespoon cornstarch. one 8- ounce can tomato sauce, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, teaspoon the has time to put the last touches on the main course and get it ready to be brought to the table as soon as has seated her guests. This Is, of course, a fine idea for the hostess who to be cook and waitress, too. That conversation started us on an Ode to Soup. Mrs.

Rombauer and I are both devoted to this good course, and we agree that a hearty and delicious soup Is a wonderful main dish for company lunch or Sunday night supper. You can serve a salad after it, it you like. Or you can follow it with an assortment of cheese, offered as they do in Prance with crusty bread and butter. I It goes without saying that substantial dessert should follow a soup meal. A good choice would be a favorite of Irma nut cake.
