What is your favourite soup?

Question

Do you make it yourself or is it canned/cartoned? Do you have any soup recipies that have been handed down through generations in your family? My own favourite is roasted butternut squash soup, flavoured with thai curry paste and coconut milk, it's delicious!

if anyone wants a recipe for butternut squash soup, please email me and I will mail it to you.

Answer 1

My gran's ****-a-leekie - made with the carcasse of the Christmas turkey, shredded carrot, swede, turnip and leek and a handful of pearl barley to beef it up. (My mother improved on it and so have I, I think.) Yum yum. But I also have a sneaking passion for Heinz cream of tomato served with chunks of strong cheese melted in...........

[Since Yahoo appears to think that the nomenclature of a male chicken is offensive, whatever the context, I guess you'll just have to use a hen. Reckon it should taste just the same.]

Answer 2

Hardrock Cafe Loaded Baked Potato Soup.

Answer 3

Italian Wedding Soup.

Answer 4

Hmm. I like chicken soup, potato soup, and lentils soup, and an easy local cold soup (called tarator) made with cucumbers, yogurt, garlic, a bit of water, dill, and a bit of oil (olive, or sunflower-seed) - it's great for the summer. But the first three... I haven't cooked the first two yet, and the third is easy. They are just plain soups; I am not much into soups anyway, to be honest, but sometimes, they are good.

Oh, and tomato soup too is nice.

Answer 5

I have a few favourites:

Mom's homemade vegetable soup (not tomato based, but made with a roux) - containing every garden vegetable - peas, carrots, green beans, yellow wax beans, kohl rabi, cauliflower, chopped celery stalks, potato. Made extra thick and delish!!

Knorr Griessnockel - a chicken broth with small dumplings made of farina. Produced in Austria, I can't get it in Canaada. I've made it from scratch, but you need farina of the right consistency.

Beef with barley, Knorr Leek, Knorr Fine Herb, Habitant Split Pea with ham.

Finally, I love Hot and Sour soup. I wish I could make it as good as restaurants do. I've tried canned but they were GROSS.

Answer 6

Plain old vegetable soup is always a favourite with me. Though generally only eat soup in the winter. Can't beat coming home on a freezing day and filling up on a lovely boiling hot bowl of soup or homemade vegetable stew. YUM YUM

Answer 9

I make homemade italian soup with wholemeal pasta.
Tastes lovely with a brown crusty roll just out of the oven.
My children used to eat that at 6 months old as it's good on fibre.

Answer 10

I love roasted Butternut squash soup too but I think my favourite would have to be Chicken Miso Soup.
