Story
|
This soup has a very old-fashioned look and taste to it. It's a fun meal to make for your family when your children have been studying about the Dust Bowl Days or The Great Depression. It's even a nice way to bring up how your grandparents or parents kept their heads during hard times back in the old days.
On the other hand, we can stand to pinch a few pennies ourselves nowadays, so this inexpensive yet filling pot of soup may be just the perfect meal to start serving more often in our own house!
