We had just moved to Oregon. Things were still packed in boxes. We got some unexpected company. I had some ingredi- ents on hand to make potato soup. It was custom then to drop in on people for a meal. We started out with 6 or 8 people and ended up serving potato soup to about 18 people that night. I just kept adding to the soup. From then on this recipe has been an old faithful standby for unexpected guests. I always keep the necessary ingredients on hand at all times. Many of our friends will remember being served potato soup at our house. Toasted cheese sandwiches and a bowl of mixed crackers completed a hearty meal.
