How is it that we don't have a soup thread?
20 hours? Wow, that's a long time to wait for soup!
I love a good split pea soup. At some point, I may need to bother you for that recipe.
I always used to buy Campbell's soup, until I got my 6 quart Staub pot and discovered Better Than Boullion at Trader Joe's. Now I make my own soups. They are WAY better than anything I ever had out of a can.
I went to a little bar around the corner from work for lunch. They have the best Clam Chowder.I love a good Bean soup, and Split Pea too.

On the plus side, it really was very simple from an ingredient standpoint, but I haven't had dinner in two days while waiting for it.

I love cooking and eating soup. My perfect job would entail just making soup and specials all day long.
I have a really delicious lentil and bacon bone soup recipe yummy.
My favourite soups are Thai -- Tom Ka Gai or a Tom Yum Goong. Heavenly.
I also love alaska laksa (with lots of the yummy chilly paste added.) I usually cook a chicken verson. Here is a picture of the last chicken laska laksa soup I made.

My husband hates soup too. Grrrrrrr.
He loves chili and stew; I don't know what the problem is with soup. I've offered to make some nice thick split pea soup or (my fave) French onion soup but he always says "No thanks."
Mary I think your husband and mine must be related.

I could live on soup and pasta. Or soup with pasta in it.

When I was a kid I loved tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches !
Mmmmm french onion soup. Love it.
Mimi's does have a pretty good one. So does Panera bread.

They have a good lunch combo where you can pick either a soup and half sandwich, soup and salad, or salad and half sandwich. I always get the french onion soup and either their fuji apple salad or one of their pressed paninis with the iced green tea (which tastes more like a sweet drink than actual green tea, but it's sooo good).
Lobstergirl wrote: "Some Paneras are instituting a "pay what you want to" policy, I hear."I think there's only two of them at this point and they're both self-sustaining. In a world where people don't hold doors for others, or offer thanks when a door is held open for them, that some people would actually pay more for food so that someone who doesn't have enough money can eat is something that gives me faith that the world isn't totally fucked up. Unfortunately, the one time I had a tuna sandwich at Panera I got sick but their bagels and coffee are alright.
I love good homemade soup of any kind - split pea, lentil, turkey noodle soup. Just don't give me chemical soup. That's the little packets of chicken noodle soup that you dump into boiling water. Bleck!
Homemade French onion soup tonight. Delish
How about cold soup, like vichyssoise? (not sure I spelled that correctly) My grandmother used to make a cold cucumber soup in the summer that was quite refreshing.
Soups are wonderful. My mother-in-law makes a lovely cold blueberry soup. I was on a butternut squash soup kick this fall. And I have my husband's grandmother's recipe for apple soup that I want to try.
I love cold, sweet soups. You'll often find strawberry and melon soups on cruise ships as filler courses for some reason.
Correct stacia, I had many good cold soups on the cruise. Strawberry, cucumber, bing cherry...

Last night's version featured minced ginger and garlic, cut spaghetti noodles, and carrots.

I think smoothies have to have yogurt, and cold fruit soups are often made with wine. Yum yum!
We had Home Made French Onion soup for supper last night, topped with Gruyere, along with canned beef - excellent.
I have never eaten canned beef. What's it like?
It's kind of like small pieces of roast beef with a hint of a salty taste. We really like it.
I'm kind of a snob about the homemade stock in my soup/risotto. I like the Joy of Cooking's instructions for roasted beef/chicken/lamb/veg stocks. Love the way it makes the house smell, too.
BunWat wrote: "Sarah Pi, is it possible your split peas were just really old and dried out? I once accepted a jar of beans from a friend who was moving and those beans took a day and a half to cook up."I had just bought them at the natural foods co-op. I assume they have good turnover of stock, but I may be wrong.
We made sweet potato-apple-chipotle soup last night, off a Moosewood recipe. It is FANTASTIC. And less than an hour from start-of-chopping to eating.
