This is (was) a very famous soup, that was served at the Famous Chicago Stock Inn Restaurant. The Stock Yards,and all the meat packing houses, were no longer in business around,1971. I understand a college now occupies the land. The great entrance gate you see in the picture, was left standing. Recipe from: Mary C. and copied from, behind the yards neighborhood, 1978 Church of Our Lady of Good Council, Mothers Club Cook Book.
