Cheese Potatoes and Smoked Turkey Sausage Casserole

In 1869, Joseph Campbell and Abraham Anderson started the Anderson & Campbell Preserve Company in Camden, New Jersey.

By 1877, the partners realized each had different visions for the company. Joseph Campbell bought Anderson’s share and expanded the business to include ketchup, salad dressing, mustard, and other sauces. Ready to serve Beefsteak Tomato Soup became a Campbell’s best seller.

1894, Joseph Campbell retired and Arthur Dorrance took over as company president. Three years later, soup history was made when Arthur Dorrance reluntly hired his nephew John Dorrance. John held a chemistry degree from MIT and a Ph.D. from the University of Gottengen in Germany. He turned down better paying teaching positions to work for his uncle. His Campbell's salary was only $7.50 per week and he had to bring in his own lab equipment. However, John Dorrance soon made the Campbell's Soup Company very famous.

Soups were inexpensive to make and very expensive to ship. Dorrance realized that if he could remove soup's heaviest ingredient water, he could create a formula for condensed soup and slash the price of soup from $.30 to $.10 per can. By 1922, soup was such an integral part of the company presence in America, that Campbell’s formally accepted "Soup" into its name.

Today, Campbell’s Soup Company, with its famous red and white label, remains a staple in the kitchen as well as American culture.
