Corn Cob Soup

Got this from Carol (Cyberageous) and it sounds good. She got it off the nternet somewhere.

Corn Cob Soup
Cut the corn off ten or twelve ears of nice sugar corn, do not cut too close. Put the cobs on to boil with enough water to cover well. Put on lid and boil an hour, set pot back on stove and lift out cobs on a flat pan to cool a little, then scrape them well, returning scrapings to the water in which cobs were boiled, of which there should be almost a quart of water, add as much sweet milk, one half cup of butter, pepper and salt and let come to a boil, add a pint of broken crackers, set back on stove and let steep two or three minutes, then pour out and serve. If made carefully will be as good as oyster soup and taste very much like it.
