Cream of Broccoli, home made, of course.

Happy memories!

Her beans were so good, and we always had cornbread with them

Delicious!

My navy bean soup usually includes kidney beans and black beans, as well. Before I mix the ham into the soup, I sauté it in a pan with diced onions and garlic.

Add cubed baby potatoes last. Add them first and they’ll disintegrate before the soup is ready to eat.

I typically only buy it when it's on sale, unfortunately it's rarely on sale.

Keeps ya warm all night long. 💨

I use fresh jalapeno and serrano chiles and add about 1/2 cup of red wine to it. Also black beans IN the chili. I am not a Native Texan so don't even start with that no beans in the chili business.

a good sturdy bean soup, with ham if possible, but during Lent we do it without and it's still good. And always with cornbread!

but if I am sick, childhood habits are hard to break. LOL

Second choice would be Italian wedding soup.

Alternate sandwich choice would be toast with cream cheese.

Hot, spicy and just right for a cold. Hot and sour soup does the trick too.

Just depends on what I'm in the mood for on any given day.

My chicken noodle is more of a chicken with veggies & noodles.

Sounds good, does it have ground beef or lamb in the cabbage?

Not sure what lamb tastes like. Lol

Super quick & easy:

Brown meat, toss in onions with some garlic

Add 1 qt beef stock & 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes

Chop cabbage imto chunks & toss into pot

I often chop a few carrots up, but not necessary

Let boil until carrots or cabbage is tender

Others like to add rice to it, but I don't care for it.

Enjoy! It literally takes me about 10 min to get prep done.

Thanks🥣

It tastes exactly like stuffed cabbage rolls without all the tedious work.

Pls let me know whst you think of it.

Enjoy and stay warm.

and stay warm.

Very "New England-ey" with big clam pieces. I can almost smell the ocean with every spoonful.

I also like T Joe's organic roasted red pepper tomato soup. I add wild rice and pine nuts to it.

Panera's cream of chicken with wild rice is also very good.

And, after my 2 years in Japan with the Air Force nurse corps, I have an enduring fondness for miso soup. It imparts an instant feeling of serenity.

It's 23 degrees in out location right now, with wind chill making it feel like 7 - perfect soup weather.

and I think he would enjoy. I agree with you on the Miso soup. Enjoy and stay warm . Same temp in Pittsburgh.

Thick and meaty. Hot sauce to taste.

For me, but one that worked so well when I was growing up was cream of tomato with a grilled cheese sandwich to dip into it! 😋

cheese sammie into it. Stay warm and enjoy.

Specifically, Progresso.

Going down to 9 above tonight. Brrrr!

... I cook Rana Italian Sausage Ravioli first together with Fly by Jing Sichuan Peppercorn Gold Chinese hot oil with a small amout of water in the pot and then I add the Progresso Beef Barley Soup. Sometimes, I mix different Rana pasta products together with the Rana Italian Sausage Ravioli but I always use the Fly by Jing Peppercorn oil. You can get these products at most major supermarkets and on Amazon.

but I'm partial to Andersen's Split Pea soup

Gets rid of the leftovers too, so a bonus too.

Well, not gazpacho or other chilled soups!
I'm big on making soups, and gladly my wife loves those I make.
If I asked her this question, I'm guessing she'd say my gumbo, ham & bean, french onion or crab bisque.
I'll eat any decent soup on a cold day!

I love a big bowl of split pea with ham.

There are so many great Soups.

Top of the list is probably a hearty Beef and Bean Chili with Black Beans, and some Chili Powder, but not enough to be uncomfortable eating.

The next would be Cabbage Soup, which some call Boiled Dinner. It has Pork, Potatoes, Carrots, and Cabbage. A little all-spice gives it the right flavor.

Zoupa Tuscano is another Favorite. Get a Recipe that is close to Olive Garden and you will be just fine.

Speaking of Olive Garden, they also have a Great Pasta Fagioli.

It is hard to beat a Good Bean Soup when it is cold outside. Every Family has their recipe. The one that we usually use is called Capitol Hill Bean Soup after it is almost done put the immersion blender in and use a few of the beans to thicken it.

warm.

I make it at least once a month.

cooked along with onions, celery carrots, and spices. I might even add a diced potato when about half done, as it's more of a stew than a soup. I've also loaded my bread machine with a loaf of whole wheat to go with it. Just the dinner I need on a rainy day here in the PNW.

stay warm and dry.

I use a combination of navy, cannellini and great northern beans

I am with you on potato soup. Some times I make it with both white and sweet potatoes and I like to add toppings to each bowl - crumbled bacon, grated cheddar cheese, and thinly sliced scallions. Other soups I like to make are taco soup and various kinds of bean soups. Stay warm and cozy😊

It's definitely getting to be soup weather here in Georgia.

I’m easy to please in this regard.

It's my go-to when a snowstorm is predicted. And potato leek soup when I'm feeling fancy and it's just cold outside. But always heated up, lol.

turkey instead. They loved it and now that is what I do.
She was making blackeyed peas for New Years Day (with cornbread of course which was new for them; they also loved that)
I take her a bunch of Martha White meal sized cornbread mix every time I go to visit.

Years. Her inlaws do not eat pork so this was a great solution. I have tried it my self and it works well.

Or, homemade tomato, like my dad used to make. Nummy!

But, just a couple at a time. I like them still crunchy.

I made some today!

Campbell’s Vegetable Beef soup…Great with a grilled cheese sandwich 😋

Thanks debm55! Same to you It’s been snowing here for 3 straight days now

You decide what’s appropriate. I like a few shakes.

As Jimmy Buffet explains

It’s a little like religion and a lot like sex
You should never know when your gonna get it next
From midnight in the quarter to noon in thibodeaux
I will play for gumbo.

some nice dipping bread. And of course chicken noodle.

and keep warm

I could eat it every day if it wasn’t so decadent!

Chicken Corn chowder. The kind you find pre made in the deli section of the store. I prefer Signature Select from Safeway. Much too creamy and fatty, but you only live once.

With a grilled cheese sammich. Ymmmm.


.

I think she'd cook, ?boil onions, carrots, one other veg I can't remember then put them in a strainer, and push out the pulp for thickening, maybe some stale bread crumbs, a touch of garlic (she wasn't a big fan, while i am), of course - the lentils, maybe a bay leaf (should look up recipes 😄 ), and maybe 5 mins before it finished stir In a smallish amount of tomato paste.

I'd already had been cooking beans from scratch myself; but I looked at that, and declared it looked like "pebbles in mud".
Nice.
Eventually after a couple of years of cooking more beans myself, I tried it.
Soooo good.

She also made a great French Onion soup, and a Cream of Brocoli, too.

sound great. Enjoy your soups and stay warm.

which made the best easter ham ever. (tho my aunt's ham recipe is the best). i saved the big bone + after hours cooking more like 4 bones.but that was the best bean soup i ever made + so much ham.

i make great potato soup. that's a great soup.

2 pounds beef shank, with bone

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

1 onion, chopped

3 cups beef broth

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I use Rotel)

4 cups water

2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 chayotes, quartered (Optional)

2 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds

1 potato, quartered (Optional)

1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges

Garnishes:

1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

¼ cup sliced pickled jalapeños

¼ cup finely chopped onion

2 limes, cut into wedges

4 radishes, quartered

Cut the meat from the bone, leaving some on the bone, and cut into cubes.

Cook the meat and bones, seasoned with salt and pepper, in oil until brown.

Cook the onion, then stir in the broth and tomatoes. Simmer until the meat is tender.

Add water, return to a simmer, then add carrots and cilantro.

Stir in the remaining vegetables and cook until tender.

Ladle into bowls and add garnishes.


What is chayote? It is a squash. In Louisiana it is called a mirliton. Just use zucchini chunks.

I don’t use cilantro. Both of us think it tastes like soap. I add fresh parsley instead.

If the beef shanks are a bit skimpy on meat add some cubed chuck roast.

I use frozen mini corn and cook them separately per package direction. Add them to the soup when serving. Slice the cobs into about 1 inch pieces. This is a chunky type soup.

Serve with condiments and warm flour or corn tortillas.

Buen provecho (Enjoy your meal)

stay warm.

Next week restaurants all over the San Antonio area will be serving big bowls of this lovely soup. We’re getting a cold front! 🤞 Texican penicillin 😉

that made a restaurant, Daphane and Victor's, famous in Ottawa in the 70s and 80s. I make it gluten free for my brother. Serve it with plain corn tortilla chips or as close as I can get to that.
