Need soup inspiration? What's your favorite recipe?

[babywings76]

I'm on the hunt for some great soup recipes...other than chili, taco soup, or the smashed potato soup.

Anyone have a favorite? The weather here today is just gloomy, gloomy, gloomy. Cool and foggy and rainy. Perfect soup/stew weather.

I love my corn chowder but can't get it now, watching the 3 grandkids. I'll try to get it later. Cold and rainy here as well, soup does sound good.

I like to make veggie soup - I use 4 veggie bullion cubes with 4 cups of water, 1 large can of tomato juice, a can of black beans, a can of red beans, a can of chick peas, 1 bag of frozen mixed veggies and 1 - 2 cups cooked rice or pasta. For seasoning, I use ome fresh garlic and some italian season. It makes a very hearty, spicy, Italian style vegetable soup.

Mommy-stroni! It's my favourite! Saute 1 chopped carrot, 1 chopped celery, 1/2 chopped onion, 1 chopped zucc. in a stockpot with a dash of evoo and a minced garlic. Add one can of diced tomatoes (I like the del monte ones with the oregano and basil in it), 1 can of white beans, 1 can chick broth. Let this simmer for half an hour and then add 1/3 a chopped cabbage to it. We serve it with chunky bread and butter. My dd loves it and my dh requests it all the time.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

2 cans Fiesta Cheese Soup
1 can Tomato Soup
2-3 cans chicken broth
1 can green chilies
2-3 chicken breasts cooked and chopped

Whisk together soups and broth. Add chilies and chicken. Bring to a simmer. Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

For a spicier variation as Pepperjack Cheese Soup and a cant of original rotel tomatoes.

What about the Chicken Lemon Rice soup in "It's Good For You"...that ones really good?
I would be interested in a good split pea, navy bean, or lentil soup recipe. Oh and black bean soup too.

I made lentil soup last night and it was just awesome.

In a heavy pot (I used a 6 qt. Dutch Oven), brown 1 large onion, 1 large carrot, and 2 stalks of celery in about 1 T oil. Really brown them, not just translucent. Add 2-3 cloves minced garlic and cook another minute or so. Add 3 c. lentils, sorted and rinsed, 8 c. water, 2 T tomato paste, 1 T each dry basil, thyme, and parsley, 1 bay leaf, 2 T Worcestershire sauce, and a few drops of hot sauce like Tobasco. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 c. Sherry vinegar and 1/2 c. fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with a crusty bread.

Delicious!! Even better leftover for lunch today.

Chicken alfredo soup, yummy!

do you have a recipe for it? Sounds interesting... I love alfredo.

 

[heat123]

hm, it's in one of our cookbooks... I just have to remember which one? lol

 

[heat123]

ok it's called "chicken veg alfredo soup" and it's in our soup, stews and chili recipe card collection which I don't know where mine is at this time. Sorry to be of no help.

I found a recipe late last year for a butternut squash - pumpkin soup. It's really good and even better when you pop it in the oven with croutons and grated Greyere cheese on top to toast the cheese and croutons. YUM!

The Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup in the Power Cooking recipes is very good.

I just made it at a Power Cooking Show that I had tonight! Everyone there loved it!

Most of my soups don't have recipes, but I've made a Split Pea soup a couple of times recently that was really good - I'll find it and post it.

 

[emo812]

Mmm sounds good to me. I love soup during winter!!
