What kind of soup do you like? Here's a chance to "crow" about your favorite!

I like bean & bacon, and tomato & rice. We also like to make 16 bean soup! :)

I like most kinds of soups except "cold" soups.

My favorite is Andersons' split pea, either in a can or in the actual restaurant.

I like tomato soup in a mug with a tad of butter, salt and pepper, heated and sip it; no spoon needed.
 
I had turtle soup once. A guy at work made it, and I kidded him that he killed it twice... once when he killed it, and again when he boiled it to death. Reminds me of the guy who walked into a restaurant and said "Give me a bowl of turtle soup...and make it snappy"!

My favourites out of a can are tomato & rice, split pea & ham and green pea.
I usually make my own soups because there is a lot of salt in canned soups.
Home made chicken vegetable is very tasty on cold days and it's healthy.
 
Oh yes,and a new favorite that I made a while back. Chicken Barley. I was going to make chicken noodle,then at the crucial time,realized I had no noodles. I did have barley though so used that. It was awesome :)

Homemade vegetable beef soup. It can vary a lot according to the vegetables in seasons. I made some creamy asparagus soup that is really good too.

I agree about the excess salt in canned soup. Even what they call lower sodium versions have way too much.

I noticed Campbells has a "heart healthy" choice. What have they taken out?

The strangest soup in a can.

Gather round the soup-box while I tell you about the strangest soup I ever saw in a can. It was in a "Foods of the World" type store, and there sitting on the shelf ....for $4.85...was a can of Bird's nest soup! I did not buy it, but I came close!

"The soup calls for the nest of a bird called the swiftlet or cave swift. These birds produce special nests found not in trees but in caves throughout southern Asia, the south Pacific islands, and northeastern Australia. (It would be closer to spit soup.)

As you can imagine, it’s not easy to attach a nest to a cave wall. These industrious birds use a mixture of seaweed, twigs, moss, hair, and feathers to fashion the nest. The truly bizarre secret ingredient: saliva. Male birds gorge themselves on seaweed, which causes them to salivate like a Labradoodle at a picnic. Saliva threads, which contain a bonding protein called mucilage, spew out of the bird’s mouth. Once dry, the saliva acts as cement. The crafty avian will continue to build on to the nest until it can support the weight of its bird family. The process usually takes about forty-five days."
