Soup

Soup is so good. We don't enjoy soup enough. As an appetizer, I LOVE a tomato soup with oyster crackers. As a supplement to an entree, I love a Pasta Fagiol or a Chicken Ministrone soup. Soup can be a supplement. Soup can, with bread and salad, and perhaps a nice hunk of cheese, like my favorite, Jarlesbeg, be a meal. What do you like for soups?

I do NOT prefer abbreviated, canned, iterations of soup, e.g., anything from
Campbell. Far too
much salt.
Home-made soups, with natural ingredients and a chef's defeft hand, nourish our soul and body, and keep out stomach clear. Soup: the forgotten food form.

Red lentils or yellow lentils? All lentils are yummy and very good for you. I prefer red lentils.

Red lentils but I do enjoy other lentils.
Happy New Year to you.

I love lentil soup! One of my favorites.

You're obsessed with food, aren't you?!

I love all kinds of soup and pretty much always homemade.

Snert, a thick, Dutch pea soup for winter
A yellow bell pepper soup
A gazpacho soup or a watercress soup with blue cheese for summer
A traditional musterd soup can also be surprisingly good
Or chicken soup for the soul!

No Christmas or Easter dinner can be without a tasty soup.

I'm obsessed with staying alive, which, at a minimum, demands air, water and food, in that order. I don't think a topic about one's taste in air or water would go very far.

[–] Stratego (31081) 7 years ago

You could give it a try. We've got some other threads here that have gotten more replies than I'd expect.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 7 years ago

Thanks for your encouragement, Strat. Regarding air, I think that any air that is absent cigarette smoke and fart aroma and not in a prison or a coffin is good air.

Food is much more varied, subtle and sensual.

[–] Stratego (31081) 7 years ago

Wow, I can't believe how similar our views on air are! Huh, I guess great minds do think alike!

But I do feel air can be sensual if you want to. You just have to make a little bit of an effort.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 7 years ago

You got me thinking about sensual air, and what I thought of is: a gentle breeze, flowing over lightly perspiring skin on a warm day. A breeze with the scent of freshly-cut grass, or a pine forest, or the ocean. A stronger breeze, at your back, as you run your workout.

[–] Stratego (31081) 7 years ago

Yep, that made me hot!

[–] R_Kane (15828) 7 years ago

I'm glad.

I like all kinds of soup and am only limited by ingredients that I might dislike. Quite a few days time is too limited to make soup so I do use the Campbell's. There is really nothing wrong with it for the most part. It just lacks the personal touch when a chef fine tunes ingredients and seasonings. One of my favorite home recipe's falls more to being a chowder than a soup. It depends how I feel as to where the body and texture winds up. The best homemade soup I ever had was a split pea with ham recipe. I've had lots of very good homemade chicken soup. When at home I tend to make more stews and chowders than soups. The chowder falls closely to being basically a chili with additional beans, corn, and starch as a thickener. The stew I braise the beef and then cook in liquid for a few hours making the meat truly tender.

I love soup. We always had the canned soups for a quick meal when we were kids. But my mom would make homemade vegetable soup on the weekend sometimes.

I bought a soup cookbook years ago and it has some great recipes. My favorite is a tomato mushroom bisque. I like homemade tomato soup made with fresh tomatoes, can't stand the canned tomato soup.

Whenever I watched the Seinfeld episode with the "Soup Nazi", I got a craving for soup.

[–] Padeen (6459) 7 years ago

I regularly make soup with a chicken carcass. Add some onion, carrot, celery, garlic and let simmer for a couple hours, then strain and cool. Skim the fat off the top and what your left with is a beautiful, nutrient rich chicken stock full of collagen.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 7 years ago

Delicious and healthy. The perfect food. Thank you.

Let food, drink and love be unconfined! A rampant 2018 to my MovieChat friends!!

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Beef Barley is a great cold weather soup.

[–] missnat (1179) 7 years ago

Good old fashioned cream of chicken soup is my favourite.

[–] Sandman3 (1454) 7 years ago

To me nothing like a big pot of this in the winter.
