Dh and i enjoy soup for meals. You generally need/want a good bread to go with it, or crackers but, even if we don't, we enjoy our soup. I have about a bajillion soup recipes!
Tonight i made vegan cauliflower soup. Dh bo't some cauliflower for dinner the other night and i already had a head so i figured i better use some of it! I have enuf cauliflower left to try another cauliflower soup recipe. It has curry and dh is not so big on curry but he'll eat it.
I made "bird bath cheesy potato soup" for the weekend. It's actually the cheesy potato soup from America's Test Kitchen but my bird decided to take a bath in the water the potatoes were resting in.
Oh well. It was before it was cooked.
I rinsed it well and we didn't die.
I took some to work for lunch and it just so happened that our local little sandwich restaurant ALSO made potato soup that day. We had a chance to compare the two and my co-worker declared mine was better.
I think they were just two very different soups - like apples and oranges, ya know?!
I always try to make a pumpkin soup or two during the Fall. I make the regular pumpkin and black bean soup and then i try a new one.
I'll be making chili (also from America's Test Kitchen) for church on the 31st. And i SHOULD whip up a batch of garlicky chicken soup for my sick neighbors. I hope to get around to that.
I made beef and barley "Autumn Soup" first thing when the weather turned. It's tradition! LOL
I'd like to make several lentil soups thru the fall/winter season because lentils are grown here! I have a couple that we have loved but SOMEtimes, what you love one time, you aren't so crazy about the next time. They are all good and eatable but i need to pare my list down to the best!
In my family cookbook i will call the cheesy potato soup "Bird Bath Soup" and give the story with it.
Do you have a favorite "go to" soup you make in the colder months?
