We knew company was coming when Grandma made her special wild rice soup.

Nana always said that a few strips of bacon go a long way toward flavoring a bean soup.

Grandpa wasn’t usually much of a cook, but he made great Bronco Buster Soup.

This was an end-of-summer soup at our house, made with Grandma’s juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes.

We wondered how Grandma made this chowder so fast when it tasted like it had simmered all day.

‘It sure isn’t like the canned stuff,’ my mother said about Grandma’s mushroom soup.

Grandma added leeks to make Six-Onion Soup. We once asked her to top it with green onions so it could be Seven-Onion Soup.

My thrifty grandparents had so many tasty recipes, like this one, to help stretch a little meat to feed their big family.

On a frosty night, it was so nice to sit in Grandma’s warm kitchen with a bowl of hot pumpkin soup.

A steaming bowl of this cheesy chowder brought smiles to our faces on blustery fall days.
