My Mother used to make this for her Dad when she was a little girl. She said it was one of his favorites. It must have been sometime in the late 20's or early 30's.
Depression Soup
2 cans peas with juice
1 medium onion, chopped
4 potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 pound bacon, fried and crumbled
salt and pepper to taste
Dump all ingredients into large saucepan. Cook on high just until it starts to boil, reduce heat and simmer just until potatoes are done.
(If I was cooking this, I would add a 1/2 stick of butter, and some parsley to liven it up a bit)
