Can I have the recipe for your favorite soup?

Question

I love soups because they are usually a healthy and nutritious meal. I have "killed" a few soups because I ate them to often (butternut soup & beet root soup). At the moment I really like tomato soup, but don't want to "kill" that too, and are hoping you have a great soup recipe that you want to share with me.

Answer 1

CREAMY SOUP OF CHEESE AND VEGETABLES

2 cubes of concentrated stock (preferably meat, but
chicken is ok too)
1 1/2 cups of boiling water
2 carrots, coarsely cubed
1 cup of celery, cubed
1 large onion, finely chopped or in thin slices
2 1/2 tbsp. of butter
1 tbsp. corn starch
2 to 3 cups of milk
12 oz. of your favourite melted cheese (Gouda or Edam is ok), shredded
dash of pepper
paprika and chopped cilantro for garnishing
salt (optional)

This recipe is very versatile as it can be prepared as a creamy soup, a tasty pasta sauce and even as a chilled entree. It all depends on how thick you want to prepare it.
Begin by sautéing the onion with the butter, add the corn starch. If you want a more textured creamy soup, you can cut the onion in fine slices. Keep apart after it becomes translucent. Put in a processor the first 4 ingredients and process until very homogeneous, then add this mixture to the pot with the onion, add the milk and a dash of ground pepper and bring it to boil and cook for 15 minutes. Add the grated cheese, stirring until smooth over a low flame. A handheld blender is quite helpful here. If you want a lighter soup, or if you want to serve it chilled, you may add another cup of milk. If you want it as a pasta sauce, you may add 1/2 tbsp. of corn starch dissolved in a bit of cold milk, and cook it a bit more. Adjust the salt to your taste.

Serve this creamy soup garnished with a bit of paprika and ground cilantro leaves over the top. I would recommend an Argentinean or Chilean Torrontes or any other kind of very fruity white wine for this creamy dish.

Answer 3

Mushroom soup a la Lettonie!

I never do proportions - that is up to you and what is available.

Sliced onion, garlic, mushrooms (any sort, or a mixture)
Little oil for frying
Dried or fresh mixed herbs
Nutmeg
Veg, chicken or beef stock - a bought pot of same will be fine, though a cube will work at a pinch)
Mushroom ketchup.
Milk
Lemon juice

Brush the mushrooms and slice.
Slice onions and garlic and fry with the oil - just to soften.
Add mushrooms and herbs and black ground pepper. (leave the salt till later)
Add the stock - ideally should be hot. Should cover mushrooms etc but if not add a bit more boiling water
Add mushroom ketchup and grated nutmeg.
Taste and adjust seasoning - you should not need salt
Boil for a while until veg soft.

Allow to cool a bit and in food processor whiz down to your required consistency.

Return to pan and heat up, but do not boil. Add milk to thin if necessary.

Serve in big bowl with lots of crusty bread and butter.

My favorite soup comes from my mom's home country of Panama called sancocho and here's the link to the way my mom and I make it:

There's a way to also make it with tomatoes:

Plaintains are similar to bananas but you can't eat them raw like you can with a regular banana (mentioning this in case anyone who else reads this reply wonders about what a plaintain is).

Answer 6

I just like the good old chicken stock you get from the supermarket
