Part 2/6:
The London Blitz refers to an intense eight-month bombing campaign by Nazi Germany against various cities in Britain, primarily between 1940 and 1941. As the threat of air raids loomed large, civilians were forced to take refuge in bomb shelters – many repurposed underground stations or makeshift shelters like the Anderson shelters set up in gardens across the country.
During this harrowing time, people found solace in various ways, including food. Blitz Soup stands as a testament to the tenacity of the British people, who, despite external threats, sought comfort in the simplicity of home-cooked meals made from readily available ingredients.
