Depression-Era Soup

The home-canning recipes are not for amateurs, but to be used by those with experience and knowledge of how to safely can food and properly use equipment. See your local county extension service on classes and information before you EVER attempt to home-can food. Our parents and grandparents did it - so can you!

Depression-Era Soup

Post by Chowhound »

DSC_0008.jpg
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 Sweet yellow onion-diced
4 Medium white potatoes-cubed, the larger you make the cube the longer the cooking time
8 Ounces green beans-ends removed and broken into bite size pieces, frozen cut green beans in a pinch
Whole milk to cover over the top of the vegetables
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a dutch oven sauté the onion in butter over medium to medium low heat. Add green beans to the onions and continue sautéing. Add the potatoes to the mix and continue. Yes, that little butter will work for all. Salt and Pepper as you go. I used a teaspoon or more of salt and 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of ground pepper. I like pepper. But taste as you go because your addition of milk may be different along with the size of your potatoes. Pour whole milk over the top of the vegetables to just cover. Simmer but don’t boil until the potatoes are fork tender 20-30 minutes, again depends on the size of your potato cubes.
