I had egg drop soup with wantons in it a few weeks back and it was amazing. Hot and sour soup is also pretty great.

Tomato soup ( made with milk) has always been my favorite. I also love potato soup. Chilli's makes a baked potato soup that is so yummy. I always order a bowl when I eat there.

Vegetable and minestrone ( I think that's how you spell it) are also favorites of mine.

I love soup! Butternut squash is definitely my favourite type, but I like many different types. As far as canned soup goes I usually eat Amys, fresh cooked soup is always better though.

French onion soup is the bomb.

crab and corn soup is the b o m b

I used to only like chicken noodle soup as a kid, with beef vegetable as a second choice.

Now I really like mushroom. Oh man that stuff is flawless!! My boyfriend makes great vegan mushroom soup and even an alphabet soup. Literally the best soups. No joke. I should get the recipes from him and post them here.

I'd really like to try miso soup someday but I'm afraid I'll not like it.

I like tomato soup with corn chips...
and cream of chicken soup with Ritz crackers. gotta have the crackers. it is nothing without the crackers.
I need to get some Ritz so I can have my soup.

Tomato and veg soup

 

[tabris]

this is my kind of thread... i love soup and make my own soups fairly often. some of my favourites to make are miso soup, root vegetable soup (potato, squash, onion, etc.) and pea soup... i'm vegetarian so it's a great and easy way to make a full meal all at once!

Tomato soup + grilled cheese = ♥

Also, cream of mushroom soup is so underrated. Everyone I know thinks its disgusting.

 

[Dogemon]

However, DO NOT TALK ABOUT RAMEN IN THIS THREAD. This thread is for soup only.

I just want to say that ramen is soup though. ACTUAL ramen (not the instant package stuff that people are familiar with in America) definitely looks more like soup than what you're probably familiar with though, since it actually has veggies and other things in it.

ANYWAY...

I'm making homemade miso soup for dinner tonight. It's actually stupidly easy to make. Yes, even in the USA, though it requires some special ingredients - specifically miso paste and dashi (bonito fish soup stock).

My miso soup recipe:

- Boil 4 cups of water in a large pot
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of HonDashi (the ratio for this is 1/4 tsp HonDashi to 1 cup of water if you want to make less soup)
- Scoop out a small amount of the hot dashi + water into a small bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of miso paste until smooth. Dump it back into the pot and stir.
- Do this again over and over until you've added 4 tablespoons of miso paste total into the pot.
---- I use awase/yellow miso, but white miso is good too. Ratio is 1 T to 1 cup of water/dashi. You can do less miso if you want less of a salty/miso flavor.
- Let cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Dump in whatever else you want. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Put in bowl and eat!

Japanese recipes usually have stuff like seaweed and tofu chunks. You can do that but don't have to. I'll usually just dump some cooked white rice and some veggies that I have on hand into it. It makes it very hearty. If you guys have only had the instant miso soup (you can buy packets at Asian grocery stores and regular American grocery stores sometimes in the international foods aisle), you gotta try the real thing. It tastes so much better.

Love me some Cream of Chicken soup. I used to like these Cuppa Soup things but now the taste of them makes me feel sick.
Weird soup I love is Stilton and Broccoli. Sounds disgusting but is actually reaaally nice.

 

[AquaStrudel]

Honestly if I had to only eat one thing for the rest of my life I would eat soup. Favorites are probably potato, miso, and of course, chicken noodle, but that isn't to say that other kinds of soup aren't good cuz lemon rice soup is pretty top notch.

 

[visibleghost]

i hate soup
seriously one if the grossest things in the world. i cant stand the feeling of hot soup going down my throat, besides i have yet to find a soup that doesnt taste awful. when i was a kid i used to have milk in my soup until it basically was just milk with a tiny but o spup flavour. ew

jeez i totally forgot about vietnamese Pho, it's the most awesome comfort food ever; and spicy Thai soup with lemongrass, chilis, and coconut milk-- Thom Kha Gai.

Cuban style caldo y gallego (bean and collard green soup) is awesome too, also a savory comfort food.

Louisiana seafod bouillabaisse is amazing.
are gumbos and ettoufees considered soups? i font think so. stews? hmm, seems like theyre a different category altogether imo...
