Corn Cob Soup - Great Depression Era Recipe - Budget Meal - Vintage Recipe

I saw a video recently showing how to make corn cob jelly. It was interesting. I never realized what could be done with what are considered scraps

Catchy tune in the background

Pretty color broth, saltines are the cherry on top of this soup. Raised on corn so I know I would love it.

Thank you for this recipe! Corn cobs have alot of flavor! Please keep these delicious and economical recipes coming Grandma♥♥♥

😁😉😍🧡💛💚👻 yummy

We used to make that broth then Poach an egg to sit on top of the saltines after they were crumbles and out in soup

Very easy soup. It's getting soup season I'll have to try it.

I Have Great Respect For The People And Their Creativity Of Those Times ,Thank You For Your Video !!!

I've had some really great corn on the cob this year...but I don't think there's enough left on the cob for this once I'm through with it!😂 Now, if I was cutting the kernels instead of chomping them, I'd absolutely either scrape off the remnants, or use the cob to flavor a soup. It's really good to flavor any kind of soup stock (chicken, vegetable, pork, clam chowder, etc.), especially if you only have one or two cobs on hand at a time.
Thanks again, Grandma! Always a treat!

WOW !!! Great way to reuse thw cobbs !!! Thank You i might add some thinkener in mine , salt & lots of peper , love peper !!!

I love your channel and the music in the background is wonderful. I think i would scrape the cobs when it was all done.

Keep rockin, grandma :).

Love the videos. Do you have cookbook?

"Taste like Corn" Gotta Love Grandpa's take on the soup. Lol. Both you guys are so enjoyable to watch. Thank you Grandma Feral for this simple soup recipe.

My Dad loved Corn cob jelly. ever made that?

I am going to start doing this! I like to make egg noodles and they would be great in this

I just discovered this channel and im so happy!! It reminds me of when my family would all get together back in the early 90s... before my granny and all of the older folks passed on... I miss the family togetherness and the amazing food and everything 😢 thank you for these videos 🤍

I make leek soup almost identical to this... simply leeks salt pepper water butter and occasionally I will go wild and add other veggies or lots of different seasons sometimes some kale or spinach and even some thinly sliced potatoes .... seriously everything can be started from a soup base like this!!!

This is amazing, I would never have thought that you could make soup from corn cobs, thank you for sharing Grandma and Grandpa can't wait to try this ♥

I’ve never made this soup, but I do make corn cob jelly with our garden corn. It’s very light and almost tastes like honey! I usually can a half dozen jars every year. It’s wonderful on biscuits.

This is my favourite soup to make when it is cold out. I always buy up a bunch of end of season corn and have friends save their cobs for me so I can make them cob stock in the fall. This is the epitome of comfort food for me. Corn cob stock just adds an incredible depth of flavour to food that it's a shame to see the best part go to waste.

I scrape the cobs after I cut the corn off, then boil the cobs to make a broth for corn chowder. Love it with BLT sandwiches. When I was a kid, we went to the Farmer's Market and got bushels of white field corn or Trucker's White. It was the best corn ever. We cut it off the cob, scraped the cob and them my Mother blanched it. After it cooled, we put it in containers to freeze. Can't find that corn anywhere now.

If you don't have cobs, would you be able to use the corn juice in the can to make the soup?

Oops, I’d add noodles or make dumplings.

I don’t waste anything either. I’ll freeze it first! The milk in the Cobb is what makes it good I bet. I’ve put Cobbs in veggie soup before. One thing I never thought of was using potato peels though. Hmmm. Its still food and vitamins! Glad I found your channel. Makes you think twice. Thank you.

Do you ever use the back of a knife to scrape the last bits of corn into the soup?

Yummy! I have to try this!

I wash my potatoes really well.. I peel them, I fry the skins .. makes great skin potatoe chips..

Going to give this a try!!!

Those were the good old days

This I've never had. It's a interesting soup. I'm not sure about this one lol. But you're husband said it was good. So we will see 👀

I love corn! Yummy!

This is really good..I liked it a lot and will be making it often..

I make corn cob jelly almost every year. I can the corn, boil the cobs and make jelly with the juice, then I gave the cobs to the chickens. WHen the chickens were done cleaning the cobs I collected them for fire starters, the silks I dried for tea, and the husks I used in a wreath but the middle clean ones could also be used for tamales. I also made my own version of substitute corn syrup and canned it along with the extra boiled corn juice I canned for using later on. I use everything up to the max! I never thought of making boiled cobs into a soup! Thanks!

Thanks for this upload, do you have a homemade recipe for cream corn?

Ive had this but with chicken bullion and noodles added. It was lovely.

Its corn season, I'll be making corn stock this week. I dry silks for tea & husks for fire starters. No waste.

Grandma,
Could you put some cream into the soup?

I remember this recipe and i have some corn cobs from last night will be cutting the corn off and making this again ..... Thank You

I own that dishware. Great video

Is that Grandpaw playing the guitar?

Can you eat the cob?

My mother used to make corn cob jelly.

Wow... truly a great depression dish!

I wonder how this compares with (Chinese) Corn Soup, ingredients and cooking method. The saltine crackers, regular or low sodium, would add any salt you want for the corn and soup. -- And this probably compared all with the corn pudding (Native American) recipe you did. It'd be very nice for soup stock other uses. I'll bet that is very soothing, and nutritious. You/d get a lot of good from the corn cobs. Good stuff! Thanks, Grandma Feral.

I just cooked 3 corn on the cob in my croc pot with a dash of salt and butter, on high for 4 hours and removed. Corn was DELICIOUS. Came here to see what I could do with the juice. Maybe add some veggies?

Thx y'all. I processed 3 dozen ears of corn last night, just picked. I got 28 cups of corn for the freezer. Now I'll have that yumny fresh corn taste all year! Blessings, julie

❤❤❤❤

Grandma sounds like Edith Bunker 👍

Are the Saltine crackers salt-free? I would be interested to know if you can get those, so I can look out for them.
