Cockie-Leekie.
Boil a fowl (an old one will do quite well) in two quarts of water, or white stock, for three or four hours. Wash about six leeks and cut into half-inch lengths, put into the pot with salt and pepper to taste; cook for half an hour. A quarter of an hour before the soup is taken from the fire add eighteen stoned prunes.
