My great-grandmother passed on this soup to her family generations. In the 1880s, it was a popular meal after a hard day in the field—hardy to satisfy the most ravenous appetite and delicious, too!

Yummy-Yummy... but mine came out more like a stew (thick) than a soup. Not sure what I did wrong but still delicious. Thanks

I have been making this soup for years. It's perfect for a winter meal. My husband requests this all the time.

This is pretty good soup. My husband and I both like it and I will make it again.

Reviewed on Jan. 02, 2011 by ellenpatron

What a great recipe! I did change it a bit, replacing the sausage with ham and then used butter instead of the sausage drippings to cook the celery and onions. I also thought a little black pepper gave it a bit of zip. I've printed out a second copy to send to my mom...good stuff.
