Original Recipe from Lillie Petit Gallagher
in "Sauce Piquante" column
of The Baton Rouge ENTERPRISE
October 2 - 8, 1980
Adaptions by Joyce Lyford: The original reicipe has: 
4 thick slices bacon, diced (I omit and sometimes add leftover ham)
6 sprigs parsley and a bay leaf tied together with thread (The bundle is removed when soup is done.) 

I omit the bacon and used dried parsley. No one has complained. The "secret" to this recipe is the turnip. DO NOT LEAVE IT OUT.


Cornstarch Clay
This Arm and Hammer recipe for clay is ideal for small objects that are planned, precisely shaped and finely detailed. Because it contains no flour, bugs are not attracted to it. The dried "creation" will last for years.
Materials:
4 cups baking soda (2 pound box) 2 cups cornstarch
3 cups water Food coloring (see options below)
Coloring:
Without coloring, the clay dried chalky white. It can be colored in varying ways. Keep in mind, the color lightens as the clay dries. While the clay is damp, color should be intense.
(1) To color each batch, add food coloring to the water before proceeding to the steps below. For intense red and green at Christmas use the following:
(a) Red: 2 one-ounce bottles per batch of clay
(b) Green: 1 one-ounce bottle per batch of clay
(2) Make the batch and then color portions of cooled clay by kneading the food coloring into the dough. This is the messiest method, but wonderful if teaching a lesson on colors. 
(3) May the clay "objects." Let them dry. Color or paint with felt-tip markers, acrylic paints, or paint pens.
Step-by-Step:
(1) Stir baking soda and cornstarch together in a pan.
(2) Quickly add cold water. Stir slowly until mixture thins and becomes smooth.
(3) Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to consistency of mashed potatoes.
(4) When mixture is too thick to stir and has a dull surface, turn onto a plate and cover with a damp cloth until cool.
(5) Knead like dough and form desired shapes. Clay may be held in plastic bags in refrigerator for a week or more.
(6) Model clay shapes or roll to an even thickness with rolling pin and cut into shapes with a knife or cookie cutters. If you roll the clay with a rolling pin, best results are achieved with "warm" clay placed between two pieces of waxed paper.
(7) Allow objects to dry at room temperature for two or three days. Turn object occasionally so that all surfaces will dry. (Note: Drying can be done in oven at 350 degrees, but objects tend to brown like cookies.
(8) If color was added when clay was made, paint objects with acrylic paints, felt-tip markers, or paint pens. You may coat with acrylic clearcoat if desired.

Yield: Each batch will make approximately 40 three-inch cookie cutter objects.
