No soup for you!

So last night we went out to eat at a new restaurant. Miss July ordered french onion soup, and even after reminding the waitress, the soup never came.
So, how do you fix this?...
Make your own.

So, hoarders, what kind of soups do you make?
What's your favorite soup?
Let's share some recipes.

 

Split pea soup with a ham bone. The thicker the better.

Corn bread on the side

Recipe is on the bag of split peas

 

French Onion soup

8 onions. (6 white, 2 red), 4 cloves garlic sautéed/browned in 4tbsp butter and 3tbsp olive oil. Deglaze onions every 5-10 minutes with 18oz white cooking wine.

I made chicken soup today wasn't that great. Haven't tried a French onion one.

 

I don't know if this is how it is spelled but I love "canandali". Italian hand me down recipe.

It is a soup made with cubed hard salami rolled into italian bread duplings and a chicken based broth. Deadly!

Eric VW is going to have a hard time correcting the spelling of that soup!

 

canederli looks awesome!
Ima hafta try this one Dave!

Define “new”. Hi big Tim.

 

My wife makes a heck of a clam chowder!!

 

I made peanut butter and bacon sandwich…. … and coffee

 

We had homemade squash soup for supper tonight. My wife splurged by putting some cream cheese in it. Recipe called for it.

 

I don't make soup very often, but I do fix a mean 2 Alarm Wick Fowler Chili. I try to fix it when it's really cold outside.... nothing beats a good bowl of chili on a cold day!

 

Being new, the staff was a little inexperienced. She did pretty good and the food was good, but i think she had too many tables. Maybe they were ouutta soup... either way, we will try them again in a few months.

 

I've been making soup for my lunches for the last several weeks. I make a quick soup by nuking GG frozen vegies then adding about 1/3 of a box of broth (unsalted if I can find it) and seasoning to my taste. Then nuke that until the mixture is hot. I usually use chicken or vegie broth, but mushroom broth goes really well with rice pilaf (lightly sauced - which I don't add any spices to).

Yes, that is "cheating", but as a single person, making a big soup in the crockpot ends up with me having way too much and wasting some of it. It takes me about 8 minutes to have a nice "fresh" soup that is healthier than the canned stuff that has way too much salt, sugar, and unappreciated ingredients like potassium chloride, corn protein, calcium chloride, yeast etc. Okay, the rice pilaf does have a bit of sugar and a few extra ingredients I could do without, but I don't use that on a regular basis.

 

Yes, it's a shame that canned/boxed foods/soups/broths have so much salt in them.
I like adding soup "base" for flavor but i believe they are [mostly] salt.

I do get "low sodium" broths when i can find them. And Bush's LS Great White Northern beans for my chili.

 

My aunt makes a bouillabaisse every year for Christmas Eve. Alway look forward to a couple bowls. Yum

 

Im the only one in my house that eats red meat, so I have to make a lot of compromises. I make a chicken stew that comes out awesome. Recipe is in my phone, but it looks similar to this one. I use beef broth in mine.

My wife makes an awesome pot of French Onion Soup once or twice a year. Problem is, she doesn't make it enough.

 

I love to make vegetable soup. Beef broth, qt of my tomato juice, onion, potatoes, green beans, corn, chunks of beef, carrots, and garlic.
