What is your favorite soup ?

1. French Onion - Every new restaurant I go to,  I try the French Onion if it's an option. 

 

2. Tomato Bisque 

 

3. Ham and Bean

 

Not sure is chili is considered a soup, but it's always under the soup section in menus. If so that's tied with French Onion

Truly a difficult question!  Although I always fall back on a favourite pizza with specific toppings, and a specific burger from ‘The Works’, there are just too damn many good soups out there to name a specific.  Probably can narrow it down to a vegetarian base, with a lentil or bean component.  Keep your foo foo squashes away from my soup!

I've been making a bobby dazzler of a tomato soup the last few months.

 

Chopped tomatoes

Sun dried tomatoes

Celery

Chillies

Red Onion

Garlic

Paprika

Vegetable Stock

 

Stick it all in the slow cooker for 8 hours. Whizz in a food processor to smooth. Ensures there's enough for  4 lunches at work during the week.

I would respectfully NOT call chili a soup; you are right, it's under the "Soup" on menus, however. 

Also, explain the draw of French Onion soup; I've never had it.

It’s all about the cheese....and of course.... the salt. 

 

How could you grow up in These United States of America and NEVER have had French Onion soup? You don’t have to go to France....that’s just what they call it! 

 

Also, I left off Black Bean soup earlier. There’s a Mexican place I go to almost weekly for their black bean soup.

I just got done reading how to make it.......I'll need to try that ASAP. It's basically a wet beefy oniony grilled cheese.

For starters it's a hearty dish. I like salt and if it's done properly there's some good flavor to it. Then there are croutons or some type of crusty bread in the soup which take on the flavor and give it some texture. Finally its topped with cheese. The type can vary, but I prefer gruyere. The cheese is then  baked or broiled so that it gets a bit of a char. It all mixes into a delicious concoction.

New England clam chowder. It has to be thick. The best canned I’ve had is Campbell’s Chunky.

 

NE* Clam Chowder by far.  We should have a separate thread for best places.

 

Every time I have it somewhere new my wife asks me for my rating.

My husband makes some terrific soups - some of my favorites that he makes are his chicken wing soup and stuffed banana pepper soup.

Out at a restaurant? French onion or she-crab soups. 

BTW, I've noticed men like soup a lot more than women... true?

lol   is there more than one ingredient?  

 

If I go out to eat,  Chili is usually a side "dish".

 

But at home  - Chili to me is a meal because I usually have a very large bowl.   

For the record, I don't consider chili soup either. I would call it more of a stew. If it's the consistency of soup it's probably pretty ***** chili anyway.
