Recipe Booklet, "Creative Cooking with Campbell's Soups," 1977

The company that would eventually be known as Campbell's Soup Company began in 1869, canning tomatoes, vegetables, and preserves, among other products. Co-founder Joseph Campbell soon partnered with Arthur Dorrance, whose nephew, J.T., introduced the idea for condensed soup upon joining the company in 1897. Since then, Campbell's soups have become a versatile food, served as a meal or included in a variety of dishes.
