The New Official Favorite Soup Thread
 

Still torn between Minestrone and New England Chowder! State your most controversial opinions! Let the best soups win! So...
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SOUP?

I'm always down with a good thick vegetable soup and I love pumpkin soup.

This thread is cruel. How can one chose a favorite soup? It's absurd. Chili con Queso, which is basically cheese soup would come close though.

Chili con queso is a quality soup. Was anybody else here disappointed by Whole Foods Loaded Baked Potato soup? I feel it didn't quite live up to its name.

Thank you for this thread!
 

Here is mine!!!

Duck Soup

It's good cause it's authentic Jamaican, because artificial cock flavor's always disappointing, which explains the abyssmal sales on Diet Pepsi with Cock.

Yeah, there's nothing worse than artificial cock (if you're gonna eat it, that is).
It does have a longer shelf life, though.

Pasta Fagioli, a bean soup with pasta and spinach. Some people put small meatballs in it but I just leave them out for a good vegetarian meal with lots of iron and protein.

I also really enjoy a hot bowl of Campbell's tomato soup with grilled cheese.

Never had it. I love Progresso's Chicken Corn Chowder though.

?SP? Tom Yam Goong
Very nice mixture of flavours, light, and any time you're feeling sick, does the job.
Here's a recipe that seems to have it down

But even the packet stuff they make is pretty good right now.

Other than, I really like potato and leek soup.

Yah, potato leek soup is a winner. Potato anything really- potato broccoli...

Honestly, I can't think of a bad soup. I just love soup.

I second potato and leek/broccoli. I used to get that for lunch whenever they had it as the special.

This thread is actually funny, cause I often say that i would eat soup for every meal. This started when I had braces and my teeth hurt like hell so I had no choice, but I still love soup. So many options.

Chinese restaurant down the street makes an amazing won ton soup.

and I used to make a soup with spicy clamato as a base, with onions, tomatoes and ground beef. garnished with sour cream. Kinda like taco soup lol

Actually, if it has meatballs in it, it's Italian wedding soup.

I also like that chicken/corn soup they give away at a lot of chinese restaurants/stalls, it's so simple and cheap but very satisfying.

I also love to make a mushroom soup with portabella, button, and enochi (sp) from scratch, vege stock, butter, garlic, thyme, pepper, cream it's so simple...served with rustic-as-fuck-burnt-around-the-edges grilled garlic bread.

Yeah I just looked it up. Minestroni, has more broth and less pasta and beans and more veggies (and you can include meat like chicken or beef), pasta fagioli has less broth and more pasta/veggies and beans. Italian wedding soup is minestroni with meatballs.

I like the Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana. That's a good soup. Anybody had this? Great stuff. Sausages, potatos, spicy broth. High marks from me.

There's a garlic soup at a local Italian/Greek restaurant here that is absolutely to die for.

Sure, you can't go near another human being for like a week after you eat it...but godamn is it ever worth it.

i agree, most cruel indeed. Thai hot and sour, good French onion, clam chowder, almost anything Asian with noodles, i could never pick one. Ashe.

Cioppino, that marvelous seafood soup, especially if it's got some crab and clam, and maybe some lobster. Only had it a couple of times. Purely lovely.

Chunky Chicken Noodle. :D

I'm a big soup maker - i make a mean potato and leek soup. My fave is prolly my Brocolli and cheese soup though.

Tomato, with plenty of chopped and fried onions and boiled green peas. Served hot.

corn chowder

clam chowder - white & red

pea soup

Well, of course. Everyone HERE likes pea soup because, well, we just do! :eek:

I once had a terrible soup in a mexican restuarant that tasted like, no lie, plain doritios. Don't get me wrong, I love doritos, but when you're drinking them, it isn't the same.


Nah, the best soups are Pea and Ham, Oxtail and Cream of Chicken.

What's Oxtail?

They take the tail of an ox, finely chop it into tiny meat pieces and make the soup out of it.

Should taste good with salt and pepper.

Oxtail soup is amazing. Try it.

Well, V says I need an ox first. That just ain't happening in Baltimore. :p



Ugh, I just totally looked up this soup and you do use real cow tails! I thought V was kidding, LOL! British Cuisine is now scarier than previously known. :p

Clam Chowder....Either homemade or an off brand.

You ever tried eel Jelly? Now THAT is weird British Cuisine.

Eel Jelly? Wow! I didn't even know they had such a thing in England. Sounds like something from Japanese Cuisine. Do you put it on toast or something?

The strangest thing (and this is low on the strange scale) I had from England was Barley water, which tasted a lot like watery lemonade. I also had Dragon brand beef flavored potato chips in Wales (not sure if they are available in England), which were pretty damn tasty.

Potatoe and Leek is my faveorite, but there are so many others that are close to it. Pumpkin and coconut, Beetroot,Tom Yum, Broccoli and mint the list goes on.

too many favorites to choose just one

Tom Yum
Hot & Sour
Lobster Bisque
New England Clam Chowder
Butternut Squash (with fresh sage)

Inspired by this thread, I just had a rather tasty Tomato Parmesan soup for lunch. Admittedly it was from Tim Horton's, but as far as fast-food soup goes I was actually pretty impressed.

gross again. I'm gonna make you hate Timmy's. haha. That soup is the only one I wouldn't eat from Tim Horton's because of the way it skins over in the heater. We had to scrape the film off of the top before serving it :eek:

When it comes to fast-food, I'm a big fan of the whole "ignorance is bliss" angle. When I'm at work, my only options are either Timmy's or this little hole-in-the-wall that I'm positive is getting shut down by health inspectors one of these days.

By comparison - no matter how many horror stories you tell me - Tim's is really the only option.

(Yes, I realize I could pack a lunch...but who the hell has time for that? :p)

I do. It takes less than 5 minutes to make a sandwich.

Dang you guys to heck! It's six in the morning and now i am ready for dinner. i want recipes!!! Ashe.
