Hmmm...there was never a soup topic put together, so here it is. What are your favorites? Want to share a recipe? Want to get a recipe? Where did you eat the "perfect" soup? And, of course, anything else to do...(within the context of this topic, anyway, don't want to drift and all!)
38 responses total.

OK, the real reason I started this topic is because I make almost all the soups at work from scratch now, and at some point I will have to standardize them as much as I can, so I can cycle through a set over and over. Anyway, just curious as to what people think on the subject so I can do a little research here and there.
Today I made a crawfish and potato soup. Kind of like a gumbo, but with new potatoes instead of rice.

that sounds yummy.
i like italian wedding soup (but never had it from scratch)....i thought all soups were based on a stock (beef, vegee, chicken) and then you just add stuff after that (aside from gumbo, which starts with a roux)

I love to make home made soup. I have been known to call them "stoup" because I make them very hearty. I also love using barley in them. I'll be very interested in this topic for sure! How did we overlook it ?!
There are tons of veggie soups nowadays using veg stock and pureeing it for body. But let the resident chef answer this, I am such a novice at cooking.

It sounds delicious. On a cold winter night I can just imagine how great it would be. At the moment, I am sweltering in an attic room and this soup is not quite so appealing.
BTW, I have received the best recipes I have ever seen for a few of the southern recipes I wondererd about. I need to contact my source before posting anything, though. Now I have

We have a clap-triggerd Dracula with moaning and flashing green eyes hanging over the bed. There's nothing psychologically sick about this - it was the only ceiling place we could find quickly.
This attic is a two room suite - bedroom and computer room (a separate computer for each of us is the only way to deal with it) and both are well insulated and lined with wood paneling. The problem is both air conditioners up here burned out earlier this summer so it has been very difficult. At the moment cooler temperatures have allowed a window fan to make it comfortable. I like the company up here. Otherwise I'd have long since taken my huge laptop downstairs where the a/c still works. I sleep down there so I don't melt during the night.

Would probably make an okay gumbo or chili, or good in a burgoo.
Made a beer cheese soup today at the restaurant, with Shiner and smoked Gouda, and made a stracciatella with zucchini and rosemary and a crawfish chowder recently, too, that I forgot to mention.

OOOH crawfish chowder. What and crusty bread is a good supper during these cool and dark evenings.
I survived that hellish summer. I'd better be very good. I really don't like the heat all that much.
I love making "stoup" with barley, leftover pot roast and various veggies plus lots of tomatoes and a bit of wooster sauce to taste. I am getting way too hungry to deal with hulling sunflower seeds. I need some real food ! I wonder if there is a crock pot in this house...

Possum pot. I think adding game to any sort of hearty soup or stew might just be the best way to prepare it.

Nope. It sold well yesterday, but then yesterday was cold and rainy so both soups sold well. Going to make a three bean chili today, I think.

If it is as cool there as it is here, anything with beans and strong seasoning will sell well. I love this weather. Punt the footall and take a thermos of it to the game!

Ok great. I think that soup site has every one known to mankind on it. I'll check the meatball soup. I'm still considering how they get meatballs to stay in a sandwich. I wonder if they flatten them first.
