I dont make it often but sometimes I make tomato soup from fresh or canned crushed tomatoes and its very very nice, and easy.

Soup is good. I find I always make too much though.
Not making it much now as certain types of produce are out of stock where I buy from and I will just wait till this years harvest to start making soup again.
Three vegetable soup seems to be the best type that I have come up with.
Have a base vegetable like carrots. (carrot soup on it's own is good too)
Then have a filler vegetable like potatoes.
Lastly add in something to change the flavour/texture in some way. For this I will use things like kale stems and maybe some kale leaf. It is a good way to make use of parts of the vegetable you might not otherwise eat.
Salt to taste. With salt you also cannot go wrong with basil.
Maybe add some black pepper.
No measurements, just throw what you want in a pot of water and go. More potatoe gives more fullness, more carrot give more sweet/richness, and more kale stem/leaf gives more texture in this example.
Heat to nearly a boil then put a lid on and simmer on lowest heat for a few hours.
Nothing quite like having a nice soup sitting on the window sill to cool and filling the whole room with that nice soup smell.

This thread inspired me to make some potato soup myself yesterday.
It was pretty good, and I still have enough for later today. I should make soup more often.

i'm eating (drinking? it's in a mug) some carrot and ginger soup right now. it's pretty good, i need to add more carrot though
No.108
I usually just get a whole lot of veg (usually sweet potato, pumpkin, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach), chop as required and throw into a stock pot with; water, garlic, ginger, thyme, rosemary and a few bay leaves. Bring that up to a gentle rolling boil and throw in a couple of large skinless chicken breasts and let in all go for a few hours. Take the chicken out and shred it with a fork, take the bay leaves and rosemary out and blitz the rest until it's at a relatively smooth consistency. Throw the chicken back in and bam, veg and chicken soup that's delicious.

No.143
>>109Fill the pot with water, add a bit of salt, throw some chicken parts you like - legs, thighs, breasts. Important: chicken parts must have bones in them, otherwise soup will taste really bland. Boil really slow for 40min. If some sort of foam starts floating in pot, take it off with a spoon, it will make soup clearer. As it boils, clean and cut potatos, then carrots (as small as possible). Throw them in and boil for 20 or so minutes. After adding veggies, wait for 10 minutes and taste for salt. I like it medium-salted, some people like it unsalted. In the last 5 minutes, cut dill and parsley (dried, fresh, frozen - whichever you have) and add. You can also add stuff (bellpeppers, cabbage, spices) and remove things you don't eat. It's light and really easy on stomach.
In general, soups are easy to cook and eating a bowl of good hot soup can get you really comfy when the weather is rainy and it's cold and grey.

Just made some chicken soup, due to inspiration from this thread.
I think this may have actually been the first soup I ever did.
Anyway, I dropped in some Onions, a ton of Garlic and Carrots, and Mushrooms, and Noodles.
Tasted quite good, although I think I should have put in fewer carrots.
Soup is so easy, and so nice, especially in this kind of weather.
This may become my fall of soup.

>>239Try not to worry too much about the recipe sushi. Soup in particular can be as simple as throwing whatever you have on hand into a pot of water and heating it.
Also something that I have heard about is keeping a soup stock going like you would keep a sourdough starter.
You would make your soup and leave a bit in the pot. Then the next day you would reheat it to keep it from spoiling and add in more water and new ingredients.
That could continue for years and you would have a soup with very deep flavor.

I read this thread yesterday and it inspired me to make my first soup today. Thankfully the weather is unseasonably cool today, so the soup was quite welcome.
I decided on a pea soup, since I had a leftover bag of them in the freezer. I messed up during the boiling a bit (I'm fairly new to cooking), but it didn't really affect the end result thankfully. The first dose I blended didn't get chopped up properly because it was too small, but the second one came out fine.
It tasted good. Thanks for the inspiration, sushis.

>>248I had never heard of this before but that sounds like a really good way to have nice low cost meals, I may give that a try.
Unrelatedly, I posted in a soup thread on sushi a long while back about this, but my favorite soup is the super eggy Avgolemono my gramma used to make.
No.363
>>362Ah, grandmothers' avgolemono is always best avgolemono…
It makes for such great winter dishes. Apart from soup, you can use it as a sauce for meatballs. You flavor the meat with dill and spring onions, so the heavy taste of the avgolemono is somewhat balanced out. If you want an extra funky dish, you can put the ground meat into hollowed-out zucchinis and cook it like that.
It also goes well over dolmadakia…
No.365
I've always wanted to try avgolemono properly. My mother made it for me a few times when I was younger but every time she did it would make me sick. And since then I've been told that the way she made it isn't the correct way, but I've been too scared to retry it. Any good recipes?
On another note, sweet potato soup seems really nice right now as it's rainy and cold now, I might make some today !!
No.369
Sushis, I have good words to share. Baby goose soup is the greatest food to exist without exception. Uncomparably tasty.
Also some recipe.
It might not be well known in this modern society but if you butcher an animal and put almost all of it in a pot to stew for an hour or so then it will be significantly more delicious than the most choice ingredients that you might think to use.
This might be easier with small animals so maybe find a local chicken farmer and buy a whole chicken to give it a test.
Add some salt, a dash of pepper, and maybe some filler like rice or noddles and you have a real hearty soup.

>>363I haven't had meatballs in a while, i think i'll have to make some soon. Never had that zucchini dish though, sounds good!
>>365I haven't looked at my recipe or made it in a while but the key to it is to add the broth to the eggs mix pretty slowly to get it up to temperature, she may have heated it up too fast, the goal is a more emulsified situation.
No.371
>>369There is no other way to cook soup, tbh. Using just some part, like breasts only, makes your soup too bland.

My mom used to crack an egg on my bowl of soup just as soon as she served it, so the very high temperature would cook the egg and I would have wonderful strands of deliciousness in my vegetable soup.
I also like oatmeal, the instant kind. It works well if you want your soup to be more filling but don't want to add noodles or rice.

>>760That's really sweet. Tumeric helps with stews, I don't generally make meat soups except for meatball soup but putting tumeric in the meatballs alongside potato and bok choy or ash pumpkins is really nice and adds an unexpected depth to the flavor even when you really didn't add much meat.

No.781
>>17Try making them with a roux
Heat up some oil in the pan you're gonna be cooking, put in some sifted flour and let it cook a bit. Once it's ready if you scrape the bottom with a wooden spatula, it should make a clear path and the flour/oil mix should be pinkish at the sides of it.
That's when you add water (room temperature) or stock or whatever else you are using and whisk until you develop Rhabdomyolysis or the water starts to boil. Then you put in the veggies and whatever else you want. Scrape the bottom of the pan every 3-5 minutes when it's boiling, otherwise keep mixing it with a spatula or something when it's not boiling but still cooking, or flour will fry itself to the bottom of the pan. You can also thicken the soup just by adding flour (usually leaves an aftertaste and isn't as nice) when it's boiling or even using stale bread (traditional for Ghoulash).
I'd suggest this for anyone wanting to make soup in this thread. It's basically the easiest way to make an incredibly filling soup if you're on a budget.
No.782
>>776Yo, add some type of heavy cream in the middle (the type that holds the shape but isn't too strong in flavour, forgot the name you should know what I mean) and fresh croutons into that.
