welcome to my kitchen I've Clara a 91
years old today we are making meals from
the Depression
good morning we're going to make egg
drop soup today of course we can't we
have to have our potato and eggs and
onion to start so I'm going to peel the
potato during the depression
everything had potato now you can see
why we would buy a whole bag of potatoes
I didn't remember exactly how done so I
called my brother and he told me about
the potatoes I didn't think this had
birthdays in but I guess he was right
my brother was a different type
altogether than I am
small easygoing it's not easy going to
do that much I think it's better like I
am I flare up and let it get it over
with just people that don't get mad when
they get mad do beware stages are all
guys now I'm going to put the onion you
notice all the meals I made have the
same ingredient onions potatoes after
your onion and potatoes our dice and I
put olive oil
and now after you cubed these vegetables
put the olive oil and then you put them
on the stove to brown them next I get
the eggs ready but we won't put them in
until later now it's just brown beads
put some babies a salt and pepper you
can make these at home now variety
potatoes a minute that's not ready yet
they're getting there yeah my brother
bladed a real bad trick on me one time
he put a little garter snake in the
envelope put it in the mailbox with my
name and Andres so I thought I was
getting some male and when I picked up
the n-word start wiggling and I thought
I'd die I was so scared he got a good
whipping that time okay now that the
things are browning so I'm going to put
water it but I have to pop so okay put
it back on the stove to make the broth
you see you put water then you put salt
and pepper in the water and cook it with
the potatoes that's it nothing to it
that's that simmer for a while I'm going
to taste this if there's enough salt in
there no more salt more pepper
now we let this boil the potatoes have
to cook so we have to wait a while
before we put the eggs in nests that's
as far as I could do now potatoes are
cooked already now we got to put the egg
have to scramble some then the others
will leave hole why these are really
brown that's just the next one I'm going
to hole well I put enough water for I
put six things first for you scramble in
the pot stir it so they scrimp and then
the other two or how many people you
have to eat you leave the eggs whole
when you service you have the person
that's going to eat it have a whole date
hope it tastes okay all you got to put
the cheese in at the end just before you
put the cheese in
at the end you put the cheese you stir
it and let's turn it off and ready to
eat
class for a special surprise you put the
bread and pour the soup over it and an
egg on top I prefer toast so we're going
to toast the bread
this is how you make egg soup which was
very inexpensive and very nutritious and
very good
after you make the soup you sit down
because you're tired
