1917 Cream of Carrot Soup Recipe 🍲

1917 Cream Of Carrot Soup Recipe - Old Cookbook Show Glen & Friends Cooking How To Make Carrot Soup.
This is a Pre Depression Recipe, and since it is from an American Cookbook - it is also published just as they entered WW1. But the recipe speaks to the hard times that people who live in New York were already feeling as war raged in Europe and food was being redirected to help those overseas. This no nonsense carrot soup recipe really lets you know about the hard times in New York City in 1917.
These old cookbooks are filled with great historic recipes and old cookbook recipes are a great way of tasting history, and connecting with the past. I love cooking history and making 100 year old recipes; the food history tells us so much about how people lived.

Carrots
2 slices onion
Sprig parsley

2 tablespoons butter or drippings
1½ teaspoons salt
Few grains cayenne

Chop enough carrots to make two cups. Cook in water until tender. Press through a sieve, keeping the water the carrots were cooked in. Cook rice in milk in double boiler. Cook onion in butter or drippings; add flour and seasonings. Mix carrots with rice and milk, and add butter or drippings, flour and the water the carrots were cooked in; bring to the boiling point, strain and serve. Garnish with chopped parsley. If this soup seems too thick, thin with milk.
