My Great Aunt Annebelle lived in Union Point, Georgia. Any leftover at the table after all meals even 1 tablespoonful was saved till all was eaten. So her soup which was remarkable, she only used fresh ingredients except for ham. She made her soup probably once a month. She had over 365 acres of land and it had a 3 acres pond. When we had the soup you could bet we also had the leftovers from previous meals served right along side the soup. Her garden was full of wonderful vegetables. Always were in the soup. This is a smaller amount version. Probably about a third of what she made.
