It's soup season!

I want to make more soup this fall/winter, so kindly share your absolute favorite soups & soup recipes here :slight_smile: :folded_hands:

I’ll start with a few I’m hoping to make from my NYT recipe box:

Soup is always just a use of leftovers in this house. We’ll make stock if we have a chicken to roast and freeze it. Later, any sad and unloved veg will go in it. Maybe with a tin of cannellini beans, or some lentils or a small pasta like orzo. That’ll get frozen. A defrosted batch currently sits in the fridge for tomorrows lunch. No actual recipe involved.

Made this one just last night. I’ve been using this recipe for years and it produces by far the best tomato soup I’ve ever had: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/creamy-tomato-soup-recipe

I love tom yum! And tom kha, too!

Just made my first soup of the season, a pretty simple Chinese-style seaweed soup, using this as the base: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DssWoSiNbWg&t=488s

I added some stuff, of course: Three kinds of dried mushrooms, some lop cheung (didn’t have any pork on hand, but I wanted some protein), and a big ol’ knob of ginger. I know I’ll also soon be making my version of CI’s clam chowder, and a cream of broccoli soup that’s been in my winter rotation for about 20 years. And cross-referencing another thread, the best part of Thanksgiving is a huge pot of turkey carcass jook the Saturday after!

You may like this one, too. I make it a lot:

I have several portions of soup in my freezer right now helpfully labeled September Soup. What was I thinking??? I thawed one for my sister when she was just here and she said it was good. Looked like FM veggies, bacon and beans so I’d guess I threw it together to use things up the night before another FM? I mystify myself sometimes…

Which September?

LOL, the one we just had. Very busy at work, hence my soup amnesia.

I just shared this in another thread, likely verring off topic, but…tortilla.

Season chicken broth with cumin and ground New Mexico chiles (or whatever chiles you like. That was all I had on hand and already ground.). Add chunks of grilled chicken thighs and cubed avocado. (Yeah, I know you can’t really cube an avocado.) Garnish with tortilla strips, crumbled cotija, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

Ummm. I cube avocado all the time for my salads, tacos, etc. What am I missing?

This sounds like a great recipe to use up some of my frozen summer corn :heart_eyes:

This one my PIC actually made before, and it was delicious.

This is also going into my recipe box!

Sorry. Geometry humor. You would have a heckuva time and a lot waste working around the curvature. This could make a great spatial relations quiz. How many perfect 1/2’ cubes can be made from a three inch long and two inch wide avocado?

Ah, I thought I was just being obtuse.

Geometry was never my forte, so… r/whoosh indeed :wink:

How could I forget one of my all-time faves, Tuscan soup!

Recipe just as an example. I don’t really follow any recipe for this, or most anything I cook — I just use them to check ingredients and wing it from there.
