During my college years I worked part time at the local Kroger as a cashier. This particular store anchored a large strip mall which included a Woolworths, a JC Penney and much to everyone's satisfaction a Sanders store. Sanders was famous for their ice cream, sundaes, shakes and cakes and back then had a lunch counter that served fabulous food. When I worked on Saturdays all day I would go to Sanders for their fabulous vanilla milk shake and for their mushroom barley soup. I just loved the soup and here have tried to re-create it in all its simplicity.
