JFF- What Is Your Favorite Soup???

Creamy vege soups are my favorite, especially leek and cauliflower. I also love bean and lentil soups.
Get on Pinterest, you'll find hundreds of recipes and photos there!

Thanks for the question - soup is now what I am going to make for dinner - kale and beans and sausage (if there is some in the freezer). Yum.

ETA: It was yummy. Bad news - not that much left for lunch.

Gumbo!!!!! (seafood with a tomato base or chicken and sausage with a dark brown roux, I don't care)...

But I also love....everything. Tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese, as Cheryl mentioned, ALWAYS brings me back to my childhood and makes me feel peaceful. I liked shrimp and corn soup, potato soup, hunter's stew, brunswick stew, a good homemade vegetable soup with some barley thrown in, chicken and dumplings or homemade chicken noodle soup always soothes me when I'm not feeling well, enchilada soup, chicken tortilla soup in the crockpot, I love all kinds of soups/stews.....but not pea soup. I hate that. My husband's favorite soup I make (besides gumbo) is taco soup.

Oh man!
I'll try to narrow it down to the top 10 (but I like more than that).

Oyster stew (just oysters, milk, butter, salt and a tiny sprinkling of ground celery seed on top at serving time)

Potato Onion soup

French Onion soup

Shrimp Bisque

She Crab soup

Hot and Sour soup

Egg Drop soup

Thai Coconut Soup (Tom Kha) (ginger, garlic, lime, lemon grass, and coconut milk make this a wonderful treat for the taste buds).

Polish Czarnina (duck blood soup) - I have a great family recipe for this and have made it a few times but you can't get the duck blood anymore from the butcher unless you have your own duck butchered. Besides duck meat and blood, it has prunes, and raisins in it and it's a wonderful flavor. We take 2 days to make this so we can cool the broth over night and skim the fat off it.

Bouillabaisse - I don't make it very often but when I do it is wonderful and worth the trouble of the kitchen smelling fishy for a few days.

(Ooohh I just thought of more favorites but I've already listed too many as it is!)

A great soup recipe site!:

I love soups! My husband says we are "Soupaterians" because we eat it 4-5 times a week!

My personal favorite is French Onion! Mmmm....simmered for hours on the stovetop, the whole house smells delicious!

Our other regulars are: White Bean (with or without chicken), Creamy Broccoli, Creamy Baked Potato, Chicken and Brown Rice, Vegetable Beef Barley w/ Lentils, and Lemon Chicken Orzo, Butternut Squash, Olive Gardens: Chicken Gnocchi, and Italian Wedding. I make others also, but these are the staples. We were vegan for a little while so most of the soups weren't as good, but now I just add a teeny tiny bit of meat and it's so good!

Tomato Orange Bisque from Portland's famous Elephants deli.

Rich and decadent, but a cinch to make. It was my Christmas Eve tradition until going plant based. Now I substitute the butter and cream for coconut milk. Its still good, but its butter and cream man, there's no comparison.

but when I'm being healthy, I love African Peanut Soup. There are endless variations on it but I do a vegetarian version with yams, adzuki beans, stewed tomatoes, red peppers, corn and and kale (and of course peanut butter )

Lobster bisque. And oyster stew. And bouillabaisse. And mushroom soup. And a creamy broccoli cheddar. And cream of corn soup. And Italian wedding soup. And...well, you get the picture.

OMG, I LOVE SOUP SO MUCH!

My favorite of all time is captain's corn chowder that we used to serve at a salad bar I worked at. I've never found a corn chowder as good and don't think the company we got it from is around anymore. Still really love a bowl of creamy tomato though! Omg, forgot about wisconsin cheese soup, with bacon, so good!!! I also love a cheesy broccoli cream soup. I think it's time to plan for soup meals now, especially since the evil weatherman said we are having a high of 19 on Saturday and 10 overnight. Boo!

I like French onion and a basic hamburger vegetable.

63 sounds wonderful :)

I love soup. I don't have a single favourite...I love French Onion, Clam Chowder, Split Pea with Ham, Cream of Mushroom, Tomato, Potato, Cream of Leek and Cream of Brocolli.

Ohhh soup! I love soup, it is so easy, inexpensive and usually healthy. My family turns their noses up at soup so I end up giving half away to my friends, lame!
My favorites-
chicken noodle, with the big ol' homemade noodles
Homemade tomato soup, served with grilled cheese sandwiches
Moroccan carrot
Butternut squash anything (bisque, chili, Azteca soup which has b.squash, beans, corn, chicken stock, cilantro, etc)
Zuppa Toscana
Taco soup

Asparagus & leek
Red lentils with chicken & Indian spices

These days, my favorite soup is one I make myself with veggies, homemade stock and a large can of crushed tomatoes. I love it and I know that each day, I'm getting a good serving of veg; plus I can control how much salt is in it.

If you do want the recipe, I have it here, along with an homage to grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup:

hooray for soup.
best,
F. B.

whatever one is in my crockpot on any given day! and in the cold months, that's about 4-5 days per week.
i have to admit a current affection for creamy spicy butternut squash soup (since butternuts are about the only thing my garden gave me this year) and roasted corn and red pepper soup.

It's 47 degrees here in DC...with the wind it feels more like 35.

What's my favorite lunch on a cold day?? I don't have one favorite...

Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich.

Bean with Bacon soup
hearty Chicken Noodle (usually I've made it myself).

There are sooo many to choose from!!! Hope you find one that hits your GO button!!

-Tomato basil soup with sharp cheddar cheese bread from the oven
-Artichoke soup (only at a restaurant i have not made it myself)
-Tortilla soup (i use left over chicken from a rotisserie chicken)
-French Onion (trader joe's has a frozen one that if good)
-split pea soup

My family's Portuguese kale soup. (I leave out the linguisa because of the fat). Google a recipe for this...it is the perfect fall soup for California. A close second, the chicken soup recipe I learned from my great grandmother.

White bean chicken chili.

Moligatawni soup is my favorite! (probably spelled it wrong)

Minestrone is the best!

Some years ago Cooking Light had a recipe for a lower calorie version of chicken cheddar corn chowder. It doesn't taste lower calorie! Chicken, corn, red peppers, onion, a little bacon... mmmmm. I still dig out that recipe for cold winter weekends. And here we have REAL winter. :-)

Another yummy and unusual one is peanut soup. Think peanut butter in a chicken stock base. It's an old school coastal Virginia thing.

I married a man from New Mexico, and posole, both red and green, is a Christmas tradition at my house. Chicken or pork, green or red chiles, onion, garlic, and hominy.

I could go on and on - I love soup!

I made corn chowder last night that is so tasty-but the French onion soup I made last week was Heaven!

It is currently 41 and windy here with a weekend forecast high of 26. 63 sounds heavenly!

I love tomato, chicken tortilla, and chicken noodle soups. The diner in town makes an amazing chicken and dumpling soup which I wish I could replicate. Thank you for the inspiration. I should make soup for dinner.

I made it today and it goes something like this,.............

chicken broth/stock
canned stewed tomatoes
I use the ratio of about 2/3 chicken broth to 1/3 amout of stewed tomatoes
I can of garbanzo beans and one can of red kidney beans - undrained!
this all makes the basis of my "broth"
Then I add whatever veggies I want in cooking order - those that take longer go in first
cabbage
carrots
celery
leeks
then at the end I add in frozen gr beans and frozen peas
I also sometimes add in corn if it's good and in season.

I call it like a veggie minestrone - sometimes I cook small shell pasta to go with. I make a big ole pot and freeze up several portions to take out later for myself for lunches. :)

My all time favorite is broccoli cheddar. I have a good homemade recipe that's super good, especially if I use sharp cheddar cheese.

Corn and potato chowder with bacon. I love doing this one with fresh off the cob corn, but failing that, I use frozen, never canned. I use Yukon Gold potatoes and whole milk.

Tomato soup with fresh off the vine tomatoes and fresh herbs. When I serve the soup, I top the soup with dollops of goat cheese, plain or herbed. Yummy!

Those three are my favorite!

I was going to say ham and beans!!!! It's my go-to year round!

Italian Sausage Soup, White Bean and Spinach Soup, Irish Stew, plain old chicken soup (with leeks, you must have leeks)....all are good.

I love soup and chili!

Homemade chicken noodle or chicken and dumplings
Chili
Vegetable beef with chunks of chuck meat instead of hamburger
Potato soup with scrambled up and browned breakfast sausage and cheddar in it
Taco Soup
Beans and Ham hocks

Gosh, so many of them.
