Carol's Story: Grandma's Noodle Soup
Channel: Back Lane Studios
Date: 2021-01-24

When Carol Campbell was 6 years old, her mother told the story of how sick she was as a little girl, unable to eat because of an acutely painful throat infection, and how her mother Elvie's chicken noodle soup might well have saved her. When Carol and her mother next visited Elvie on the family farm, they made the chicken soup together. Carol remembers vividly how humanely and skilfully Elvie  killed the chicken for the soup, which became one of Carol's favourite childhood foods. The "We are What We Ate" childhood food and memory project has been supported in part by the Canadian government's New Horizons for Seniors Program.
