 Categories: Soups/stews, Meats, Ireland
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1    Beef kidney (about 1 1/2 lb)
      2 tb Bacon dripping or oil
      2 tb Flour
      2 l  Beef stock
      1    Squeeze lemon juice

      1    Thinly sliced carrot
      1    Glass sherry
 
  * Spice bag should contain:  10 black peppercorns, 1
  blade mace, pinch celery seed)  ** Should contain
  parsley, thyme and bay leaf . Skin the kidney, cut
  down the middle and remove the fatty core and any
  whitish membrane.  (This is what can give a kidney a
  bad taste, so be thorough.) Heat the fat and brown the
  kidney in it quickly.  Pour off any excess fat, then
  stir in the flour, turning the kidney pieces in it.
  Cook for 1 minute, then add the stock, sugar, bouquet
  garni, and the spice bag.
   Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently for
  about 3 hours.  This can be done on the stove or in a
  crockpot. . 
  Cool the soup, then refrigerate.  When it is quite
  cold take off any fat from the top, then remove the
  bouquet garni and spice bags.  Taste for seasoning;
  add the lemon juice and sherry if needed.  If the
  pieces of kidney are not liked, strain the soup;  or
  it can be liquidized.  Bring to just under boiling
  point before serving;  serve with thin slices of dry
  toast, or cheese biscuits.
