Time To "Step Up"And Get On The Soup Box!

[oldpop]

I am also a fan of Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. As a matter of fact I am going to have it as a late supper tonight.

A soup I always make up when the weather gets cooler and I think about how a nice soup hits the spot.

Southern Peanut Soup.

The way I make it, it's pretty rich. I use cream instead of Chicken Stock.
Also add celery and onions.

No one else in my family likes it, they're not peanut people. So more for me.

I recall that Peanut soup was a favorite of George Washington. They would garnish top with crushed peanuts. (Recipe)

How to Make Yummy Swamp Soup for Halloween

"Interesting fact: Did you know that nearly all carrots were purple until the late 16th century? It’s the orange carrots that are mutants! Less sweet and more earthy than regular carrots, these purple carrots (plus a little red cabbage) are what gives this soup its spooky color, perfect for Halloween. If you can’t find them, replace them with purple cauliflower or broccoli. This soup is packed full of antioxidants, so you’ll be eerily glowing with health while still getting your scare-fest fix"! RECIPE

French onion soup, one of my favourites!

a childhood staple and a go-to comfort food even today.

french onion is another favorite, chowders, cream soups, vegetable soups...
almost any soup, along with a thick slice of crusty bread, slathered with butter makes for a fulfilling meal.

prepare a large potful and you've got good eating for days...

Turkey white bean soup
Split pea soup with ham
Bean soup with ham
Chicken soup with veg and either rice or noodles
Tomato soup

I prefer homemade soup because the ingredients list is a lot smaller than with canned soups, and it is more nutritious. Right now, since I don't often feel good enough to cook, I eat Campbell's Tomato soup. I use only 1/2 the water called for. I prefer water to milk in tomato soup.

Campbell's Tomato & rice or plain tomato soup with grilled cheese. Getting that time of year for soups & chili as the Temperature here is 50º

Hoover Stew​

1 (16 ounce) box of elbow macaroni or any mix of pastas that will cook in approximately the same time like shells, rotini, etc.)

2 (16 ounce) cans of stewed tomatoes OR whole tomatoes

1 (16 ounce) package of hot dogs

1 (16 ounce) can of corn (a can of beans may also be added for protein).

Cook macaroni according to the instructions on the box. While it cooks, slice the hot dogs into very thin “coins.” Open cans of tomatoes, beans (if using) and corn, but do not drain corn or tomatoes. Beans may be rinsed. Combine the contents of the cans and the hot dog slices in a large pot and bring to a simmer. Break up the tomatoes into small chunks as the mixture heats.
Drain the macaroni when it is almost done. Reserve the cooking water to add to the pot, if needed. Add the macaroni to the tomato mixture in the pot, and continue simmering until all of the ingredients are thoroughly heated. Season as desired with salt and pepper. Add any reserved cooking water from the macaroni to keep it from becoming dry. Serve.

Like you, I love homemade soup and rarely buy the canned stuff.

It's not quite soup season here yet, but if the weatherdude isn't lying (again!) it will be by the end of the week. I've got a gazillion soup "recipes" in my head. One of my favorites is a veggie soup with a packet or two of Italian dressing mix. If I'm feeling very veggie, I use vegetable stock; when I'm feeling meat-y I use beef stock and leftover roast beast, browned ground beef or even browned meatballs.

Heck, I've even got a recipe for refried bean soup that I doctor up a little with canned, chopped green chilies.

 

[oldpop]

Toasted peanut butter sandwich is also good with tomato soup. I guess I just like tomato soup. Split pea and ham is good too.

We can probably all agree with Campbell's tag line that declares "Soup is good food"

I make a lot of soup.

Sometimes I use half a pack of ramen, extra low sodium miso paste, some red pepper paste, and tons of veggies like bok choy, baby napa cabbage, regular cabbage, assorted leafy green, bell pepper, a little soft tofu, and whatever else looks interesting in my veggie bin and freezer.

This morning I've got 1-1/2 cups of dried mixed beans, some bouillon and spices simmering on the stove. Will add some lentils and split peas in a bit. When almost done I'll put in lightly sauteed onions, carrots, green beans and celery. Will serve over steamed squash that'll go south if I don't use it up.

When too lazy to make soup from scratch, I start with a can of Progresso (almost any type) and start adding to it.

I'm in the middle of making a beef barley soup today.
It's a good day for it because it's pouring rain.

I like chili made with sufficient chili powder, cumin, and black beans. Recipe below. Add honey if needed, to taste, Use a blender full of tomato sauce if you do not have fresh or frozen tomatoes on hand.

 

[GeorgiaXplant]

It's probably un-American to not like chili, but I don't. @Michael Z, at least you don't make yours with kidney beans, and that's a plus! I do like the liquid from chili, though. I put cornbread in the bottom of a bowl and ladle the liquid over it. Yum.

I LOVE soup with barley.

I'd be interested in tasting the Southern Peanut Soup you linked, but with all that PB, half & half, and heavy cream, more than a couple of spoonfuls would send my IBS into overdrive.

I was actually thinking of eliminating a lot of that cream and using more broth.....
