I invited my son, daughter-in-law and my four grandchildren over to sample my newest creation. I had no clue how this was going to turn out but knew basically what I wanted to accomplish. I wanted potato soup, yet I also wanted corn chowder. I love the smell of saute'd onions and bacon, so knew that had to be part of the menu, then I wanted a heartiness added to the dish, the smoked sausage accomplished that, voila, I had a dish with no name. After dinner, I canvased everyone. They all loved it and between my nine year old grandson and his daddy, they came up with the name, "Tru Tater Stew"
