My parents growing up in Transylvania in the post-war time did not always have fancy ingredients for cooking.
This is a simple recipe that brings back so many childhood memories. Is simple, needs just a handful of ingredients, all cost less than a dollar, yet feeds the hungry family for one meal.
We ate most of our soups with bread, it filled us.
