bacon soup Ingredient?

i need to put my culinary training to use and actually make a bacon soup recipe... ramble ahead

i get the impression it's going to be really simple, considering the time it might of came out.
bit of theorizing here, but the "Bendy in THE DANCING DEMON" poster encourages viewers to "buy bonds". if you don't know, during/around WW2 in the USA, people (even those on low salaries) were asked to purchase 'bonds' on all sorts of posters to help the war effort.

so this was around 1940s, war time, which means that rationing was likely a thing and foodstuffs were meant to be preserved for long times. hence soup.

im imagining bendy's bacon soup is really basic and high in salt content. BUT you're directed to "eat with a fork" which means the bacon in it must be substantial enough that you gotta use a fork. this is kinda strange since meat (especially bacon) was one of the foods heavily rationed. but you can't expect much historical accuracy in a game about sentient ink demons-

so anyway... Bacon Soup is probably beef/pork stock (likely pork because it could be made from the bones), bacon, LOTS of salt, and maybe a root vegetable or two such as potato? they're cheap and fulfilling so it'd work. milk content is possible but it'd probably be dried milk/milk powder rather than whole milk, since that'd go off and was also a rationed food. not sure what about the soup makes it "taste better when aged" (as said by Sammy on Twitter), perhaps the meat and salt content infuses with the contents eventually.


that's just what i think though, hehe. your recipe is MUCH better for the times we live in, for sure.

if you have chicken stock that's still a good idea since it's so neutral, it can basically substitute anything.

in terms of the game they probably would of made it all at once so made stock out of the pork bones, but these days, chicken is your best bet 

I imagined it as more of a bacon and bean soup. But Frenzy would be right in the fact of fitting the era. I'll have my mum try and come up with a recipe which isn't that hard. We make a lot of our soups. Also, for a broth you can just make a ham with a nice size bone in it and boil the bone after pulling the meat off. The juice from the ham also is your broth so combine that with what's made from boiling the bone and there you have two, maybe three cans to fill.

It's almost sounding like a form of depression soup now that we're discussing this.

You're never have depression soup?

nopeee, i can only assume you mean like a low-effort soup or something?

(p.s. all this soup talk is making me super hungry)

You might know it as potato soup. All it is, is potatoes and onions in milk and you add some salt in your bowl if you want. It was a popular soup eaten during the Great Depression by what my mum told me from listening to her mother.

I guess is would depend on what audience it was meant for. If it was for the domestic front line, then it would be more of a depression soup. If it was more for the troops then it would be like another other army ration just maybe a little more better and edible.

Now we're getting into theories ....
