Linking some more recent threads with lots of soup ideas.
Some of my favorites are in the first link – Tom Kha Gai, Curry chicken noodle soup (Viet / Teochow / Chiu chow), Ottolenghi’s coconut curry lentil soup (which is pretty much Indian dal or sambhar, I often blend in vegetables), and Chrissy Teigen’s Carrot Coconut soup.
Also reminded me of the basic Turkish lentil soup which is simple and delicous and I need to make again soon.
