The recipe you see above is from a packet of xeroxed recipe cards I picked up at thrift store sometime in the last few years. The cards were bound together with an aging rubber band and cost $.35. They were compiled as a fund raiser for the Friends of the Lancaster County* Library and are all hand written by the women who contributed them. Some are difficult to read and others are dishes of a bygone era. But some, like this veggie soup recipe are simple and appealing. I'm already hungry for baked veggie and it's not nearly dinnertime yet.
