Carrot and Onion Soup, Wartime Recipe
Wartime rationing and the need to economise produced a raft of hints and tips from the government of the day. Leaflets were produced giving advice on a range of subjects from growing your own vegetables, to keeping pigs and poultry, from cutting up old socks to stuff cushions and pillows, to cooking cheap and nutritious meals and many more. All had their place in the scheme of things but I suspect that the most helpful to the ordinary housewife with a growing family, were the purse stretching, nutritious recipes.
