HK there's a tot at your house who doesn't like to drink milk, here's a suggestion. Serve milk- rich seafood chowders, stews and bisques occasionally. Most chil- dren enjoy these dishes. When a recipe calls for fish stock and you don't have any fish bones or trimmings on hand with which to make it, don't give up. Chicken bouillon cubes dis- solved in the required amount of water make a good substitute. What quantity of soup makes a serving? The amount differs with the type of soup and its place in the menu. If the soup is a hearty seafood chowder or stew and it is to be the main | course of a meal, 1 quart makes | 4 amvle (10-ounce) servings. If the soup is intended as an intro- duction to the main course, 1 quart makes 8 dainty (5-ounce) servings. For a quick and hearty lunch- eon dish on a Christmas shopping day, try thi:.
