NFT: Favorite soup?

Bill in UT : 5/14/2022 10:34 pm
Is it the underrated Pho? I don't think I can narrow it down to one. I go with New England Clam Chowder, Shrimp Bisque, one of several vegetable/bean soups with meat added and French Onion Soup.

England clam chowder is tops for me. Followed by, in no particular order, white bean (using smoked ham hocks or pig tail for meat), potato-leek, squash, carrot and split pea
There's sp many but I'm surprised nobody mentioned

So many that I like...almost can’t pick a favorite.  
Jimmy Googs : 5/15/2022 8:39 am : link
The ones I prefer are the hearty ones that are basically a meal though...chicken noodle, chicken and dumplings, tortellini with sausage, French onion are ones we make in our rotation.

Nothing wrong with good old creamy tomato soup but have to make grilled cheese to go with it...
Simple soups for me:

I’ve never been a big fan of soups  
bigblue1124 : 5/15/2022 9:30 am : link
But if I were to make a choice it would be either Portuguese kale soup or Pasta e Fagioli with Escarole I make mine with the prosciutto di Parma tip like a ham hock and then shred it like pulled pork and add it back adds a nice flavor.

Another would be tomato basil on a cold winter’s day with some nice grilled Italian bread crostini.

That is one of my favorite soups and I make that usually about once a month. I double the recipe in order to have extra to warm up later. I delete the apple and also add coconut milk to mine
I've got two.

Not sure what it's called (some style of Tomato Soup) that I used to get a restaurant that was so good you didn't need a grilled cheese to complement it. Although, always good to have a grilled cheese with any tomato soup. Anyway, it was a thicker, creamier tomato soup (probably made with half and half instead of milk) with chunks of tomato in it as well as pieces of bacon. It was filling and incredible and I'd eat a bowl there and get one to go to warm up the next day. Shame the owner moved and the restaurant closed.
Make soup most every week.  
GrMtWoods : 5/15/2022 12:53 pm : link
Most often requested;
Italian lentil
Ham and bean
Chicken stock with whatever

My favorite would be noodle bowl

Wor won ton soup. I otherwise struggle with the subtleties of Asian ingredients although I’m a big fan of Hot and Sour and West Lake Beef soup as well.

As for closer to home I make a nice French Onion based on one from Thomas Keller’s bistro out here by me, a super easy but delicious 80 year old Pea Soup recipe from Anderson’s half way between SF and LA out in the middle of nowhere and lastly Italian Wedding Soup of my own creation- with escarole, never spinach.

Honorable mention to my Lentil with Sausage.

I started doing something different with my French Onion soup. It was always messy trying to cut the slice of bread floating on top, so I now cut the bread into bite-sized croutons and toast them. I can just pick one off with some cheese without spilling the soup.

We do same thing, toast up small French bread cuts and melt gruyere cheese on them. Then add into bowl...

According to The Pioneer Woman, no.

"Though many people think of chili as its own category, it is technically just a type of stew, with origins in Tex-Mex cuisine. Chili isn't a soup mostly because it usually is more solid than it is liquid, with most chili recipes containing majority meat and/or vegetables that are simmered in a tomato sauce."

pjcas18 : 5/16/2022 9:36 am : link
I have a tendency to make them more stew-like almost always adding more of the non-liquid ingredients than the recipe calls for figuring I can always add more liquid.
