This is the name of a new delicacy which has been prepared for the Pennsylvania volunteers in a Government hospital. The Dubuque Times speaking of its use, says: “If the loyal women of Iowa could have seen the gratification which the soup prepared from this ‘Concentrated Chicken’ gave these sick soldiers, they would speedily stock the hospitals of Iowa with this and similar preparations.” The following is the recipe copied from a circular of the Soldier’s Aid Society, in Huntingdon, Pa.:
“Prepare the chicken as if for stewing; put it into cold water, just enough to keep it from burning, and boil until the flesh can be stripped from the bones; to the flesh and some water add salt and a little pepper, but no butter, and let it simmer slowly for a long time, or until reduced as much as possible. Seal it up hot in cans.” Mutton and beef can be prepared in the same way.
