Comments: Reader Judy Garrett says hasn't found a better soup recipe than this one from Sunset in the 1960s. She recently misplaced her copy, only to find she had given it to her son. We've added it to our online archive so she'll always have it handy. Now you can try it, too.
"Storm Soup" is the name given by merchant sailors to a one-dish meal concocted by ships' cooks whenever storms were approaching. It seems these kings of the galley have an aversion to coping with more than one kettle on a wild galley stove! Both the thickness and saltiness of this soup can be varied to suit individual tastes.
