Depression Cooking: Egg Drop Soupby Kendall

Another great video from the Depression Cooking with Clara series. This time, she makes egg drop soup with potatoes, onions, bread, and, of course, eggs.

This is a great series I just found on YouTube called Depression Cooking with Clara. This 91-year-old woman talks about growing up in the Depression and what types of meals they ate. She says all they ate was pasta… pasta with garlic, pasta with peas, pasta with tomatoes. She says the only thing they ate more of than pasta was potatoes.

It’s amazing to capture and record these stories firsthand—what a generation! We can all learn something from these people.

Watch Clara make pasta with peas in this episode. I’ll be posting more episodes in upcoming weeks.
