Homemade Soup, Chowder Recipes, and Stews

A collection of free vintage homemade soup recipes taken from vintage recipe cards.  Back in the days when moms stayed home and took care of the home, while dads went to work.
Soup and sandwich. You can't have one without the other. 

How many of us remember that chicken noodle soup mom would bring you when you were too sick to go to school.

My Mom thought chicken noodle soup would cure everything.  My bout of mumps, my measles, chicken pox, and my sore throats, chicken soup was feed to me as faithfully as the doctors prescribed medications. 

But, you know what? I would be sick all over again for a bowl of my moms chicken noodle soup today.

Then there were just those lazy Saturday afternoons in the middle of winter when out would come the TV tray and mom would laden it with all of my favorite goodies as a child. 

Sandwich, chips, soup, and pickle.  O, and a wonderfully cold coke in an aluminum glass.  A glass which would keep your cold drink cold in any weather.

Enjoy some free recipes from other's past.  I collect vintage recipes from handwritten recipe cards.  The ones in those little tin recipe boxes, all moms use to keep..
