I'm having soup for lunch, chicken soup with angel hair pasta, curry flavored

I love all chicken soups, Campbell's rocks.

What's your favourite soup?

My nanas pea and ham soup was the best.

My brother makes a great potato and leek soup

I like all kinds really

I remember my Mum made a mushroom soup and the colour was real dark with bits in, we called it spider soup.. lol

I made a really nice red pepper soup.. from fresh.. omg its delcicious..

NO SOUP FOR YOU! ONE YEAR!!





sorry, couldn't resist.

I never eat canned soup. That stuff should be deemed a biohazard.

My favorite soup is one I make myself, with homemade chicken stock, Spanish chorizo (which is spiced very differently from the southwestern kind), white beans, onions, and kale. I season it with garlic, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, and saffron.

I also like Roman Egg Soup. You bring two cups of (preferably homemade) chicken broth to a boil. As the broth is heating, whisk an egg with a tablespoon or two of grated parmesan, then whisk that into the boiling stock. Season as you like (I like lemon pepper in this one).

Teacher I started a "what's your favorite soup" thread too, a couple months back. Great minds are thinking alike.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite soup, because I like just about all of them. I probably would have to go with cream of potato soup, or maybe New England clam chowder.

That guy was funny.

oh, and my fave soup is broccoli cheese. soooo good.

I make a lot of soup without recipes, and some of it turns out to be amazing, and then I can never remember what the hell was in it.

I use pureed cashews and roasted garlic in a lot of my favorite soups. Pretty much any roasted veggies with that and some veggie broth as a base is going to turn out yummy.

I actually really love split pea, too. There's the one kind that comes dry in a bag, I can't remember the brand right now. . . it's so good. . . IB knows what it is. . .

Yay for soup threads!

I like potato soup too, I forgot about that... creamy potato and leek soup with some bacon in it

can any of you post some delicious recipes? i've never tried making soup before, but i'm wanting to give it a shot now.

First I just have to say.... pureed cashews sounds sooo icky

This soup I had today comes dry in a bag too, they're usually so-so at best but this is the shit, sooo good and all I do is add some curry and extra chicken.

SexOnWheels said:

I just get them ready made

Teacher said:

Only if you don't like cashews. They're high in fat and protein, so the result is basically like adding a little cream. I know it sounds weird, though.

Teacher said:

glad i'm not the only one.


but i would still like to try making some. my old roommate was an AMAZING cook, and she made some great soups but i never got the recipes from her.

I make the best caldo de pollo...chicken soup...with a mexican twist.

My mother makes this too, do you add rice??? I love it and I always add some lemon yummy. Some day I will learn to make it myself

Teacher said:

Please keep in mind that mexican grandma's do not use recipe's, they are of the school of a pinch of this a pinch of that.

In my big soup pot, I fill it half full with water.I add 6 chicken legs, and one chicken breast, bone and all. Add 1 table spoon of salt,3cubes of chicken broth.I add whole black peppers, and cloves, about 8 of each,one whole brown onion,six cloves of garlic, I peel off theskinand add whole, I do not mince. By this point in time the water may be boiling and you will need to skim the top of soup, you take a big spoon and just clear off the top, it get's a little layer of fat. Next, you add one bunch of cilantro, you wash it real well, and cut up a whole bunch, like they sell in the market minus the stems. Add to the soup, you also need some cumin powder, I add about one tablespoon. You keep your soup at a low simmer, now you start chopping up your veggies: 6 small red potato's, peeled and quartered, 3 celery stalks cut into bite size, 4 whole carrots, peeled and cut to bite size. After your soup has been cooking for a simmer for about 45 minutes, you can add, your vegetables, and 1/4 cup of white rice RAW not cooked. I also add one can of COOKED whole pinto beans, and one bag of DEFROSTED carrots and peas. I keep cooking at a small boil until my chicken if cooked. About 1 hour and 15 minutes cooking time, total.
I really hope this made sense to you all. I am no chef, but I do cook for a family of 5 everynight, and I learned from 2 of the best little ol' mexican cooks in the world....My Mom and Grandmother.
