Potato Soup, Vol. V, Episode 21

[@jeffreyburress5067]

Thanks, Will. Great touch to the life of how a common soldier ate and lived. Way more going on than marching and battles. Most folks overlook that fact. I eat quite a bit of potato soup so I'm going to try this.

That’s our goal! Glad you enjoy. Let us know how you like it.

I love your episodes and I love the commitment that yall put in them

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy!!! Will

The only ingredient that differs from a standard mashed potato recipe is the flour, so I am glad you pointed that out. I can't help wondering what an inventive cook would have added to spruce things up a bit.

salt pork, bacon, ham

[@jeffreyrobinson3555]

Some folks tried this and said’ it this is good, I bet a bit of bacon and onion in this would be great’ Gave this a try as is and it ain’t too bad 👍

[@miketaylor5212]

potato soup is great but it dont stick with you long.

Hey if you can can you talk about issue shirts and or shirts in general? If you do that would be pretty helpful.

This was great!

Another delicious experience for myself. Most of the dishes I have made from your videos have been amazing except one. Forgot the name that bad was the hard tack crushed up and cooked in salt pork grease. But hey my unit really enjoys it when I cook

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

I don’t think that one was ever made to be amazing. It was made to be edible. LOL! That said, I can’t keep my eight-year-old daughter away from it.

Excellent video. Amy idea when the Potato Peeler was invented??? 👍🙂👍

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

A quick web search shows a popular version was invented in 1947.

[@LibertyGarden]

Thank you. Was the 20 minutes after achieving a rolling boil?

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

Yes it was.

[@guynemer53]

What type of potatoes did you try out?

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

We used russet in this episode. I also have tried it with a version of white potato and that was good, too. I’m going to do it one more time with red skins. Will

[@zivaandzeusshenanigans1113]

What type of Dutch oven is that

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

It isn’t. It is just a cast iron pot. It’s a reproduction.

[@danielkohli1542]

I do believe Jas Townsend and son sells that type of pot on their website.
