Talking to my grandma about her 'depression soup' recipe

I was helping her sort through some old recipe cards last weekend, and she pointed to her simple potato and onion soup, saying 'We just called it soup, but it kept the house warm and our bellies full.' It made me realize how much the idea of a 'budget meal' has changed from pure necessity to something we plan and search for online. What's a simple, filling recipe from your family that was just about using what you had?

Actually, @the_cole, that sounds like a planned meal.

My dad's "kitchen sink chili" was just a can of beans and whatever was about to go bad. @hart.cora would probably call that a five-star meal plan.

My mom's 'everything casserole' was just leftovers...
