Introduction

We grew up so poor, yet feeling so good after a warm bowl of my Mother's potato soup. It's cheap and cheerful and us kids loved it. Our worries went out the window and as long as we had our Mom's dinners. With her cooking, we knew everything was going to be okay. She served this with hot dogs and buns. I like it with sausages in a hot dog bun. It's still pretty cheap. We grew up so poor, yet feeling so good after a warm bowl of my Mother's potato soup. It's cheap and cheerful and us kids loved it.
