Red Cardinal Kitchen's "Victory Garden Soup" recipe is a comforting and wholesome dish that pays tribute to the spirit of resilience and resourcefulness inspired by 1940s Victory Gardens. This soup offers a symphony of flavors and textures that will warm your soul.🔥❤️

During World War II, resources became scarce in the United States, leading to food shortages and rationing. The government launched the Victory Garden campaign to support the troops, encouraging citizens to grow fruits and vegetables. Millions of Americans planted gardens in their yards, parks, and rooftops, creating a sense of community and patriotism. 🇺🇸👨‍🌾👩‍🌾☀️🌱🏠👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏰🏫🧅🧄🥔🥕🌽🍅🍲Victory Garden Soup, a versatile and customizable dish made from homegrown produce and rationed ingredients like frozen vegetables and broth, was born from this movement.
