Soup's on...

[Miss Neecerie]

At least for me. I am on a soft diet for about a week..

So since I am eating soup for 7 days, it got me thinking.


What's your favorite soup?


PS I admit this is idea gathering...I am running out of kinds of soup to not be bored with.....

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Miso Soup is the best soup to me! :essen:

 

[Feraud]

split pea, lentil, chicken. :essen:

 

[CharlieH.]

Chicken noodle, tortilla soup, clam chowder, cream of corn and ramen in any form. (gloooorious ramen!)

 

[Dinerman]

Pho

 

[Jack Scorpion]

Pho

Agreed. With all the fixin's, too.

I love salmon chowder, butter nut squash soup, cold borsht or mushroom soup, and most kinds of tomato soups.

Hot and sour or egg drop from the local chinese joint. Sharkfin was delicious the one time I had it.

My mother's cream of spinach soup.:essen:
Minestrone is nice but I'm not sure you can eat it now.
Good luck.

Sincerely,

I've been on a diet for a few weeks.... During the week, I eat nothing but apples, bananas, some rice, soup, and vitamin packs. (starvation rations ) Saturday is my day to practically eat anything I want, but my stomach has shrunk so much, I feel full very quickly. [huh] I have lost 12 pounds so far, and have 13 to go... (225 back down to 200)

Anyhow, me and Progresso soup have been great friends. Lot's of variety, and pretty damn good soup. I like:

Chicken & Rotini
Lentil
Vegetable Italian
Chicken & Wild Rice
Garden Vegetable
Hearty Penne in Chicken Broth
Tuscan Style Meatball
Grilled Steak with Vegetables & Penne

Gotta look good for the QM in November!

I'm afraid to tell you, but pho isn't a word

 

[Technonut]

I'm afraid to tell you, but pho isn't a word

Really? I thought it was a Vietnamese word....[huh]

 

[Vanessa Anne]

I did a veg soup last week and threw in a large cut up, sweet potato. It turned out really nice.The sweet potato compleatly broke down and just gave a really lovely flavour and colour to the soup.

Avgolemono Soup! Good for the soul.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Please explain to a disadvantaged Campbell's Soup eater -- what is pho?

This is a blog about Vietnamese street food. I used to read it but forget what pho is also.

A tasty Vietnamese noodle soup. :essen: I used to have it with a friend's family that came over from Vietnam in the 70's. This is a picture of beef Pho..

EDIT: Here is a recipe I found on foodnetwork.com:

Episode: Soup for Supper

6 cups beef broth
1 (1/4-inch thick) slice ginger
2 whole star anise*
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 pound piece boneless beef sirloin, trimmed of any fat
3 ounces dried flat rice noodles*
1/4 cup Asian fish sauce*
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
1/8 cup minced scallions
1/4 cup fresh cilantro sprigs, washed and finely chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
Lime wedges for garnish

In a 2 quart saucepan bring broth, ginger, star anise, and cinnamon to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
With a very sharp knife cut sirloin across the grain into very thin slices.
In a large bowl soak noodles in hot water to cover 15 minutes, or until softened and pliable.
While noodles are soaking, bring a kettle of salted water to a boil for noodles. Drain noodles in a colander and cook in boiling water, stirring 45 seconds, or until tender. Drain noodles in a colander. Set aside.
Strain broth into saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in fish sauce, salt and pepper. Add sirloin and sprouts and cook 30 to 45 seconds, or until sirloin changes color. Skim any froth from soup.
To serve, divide noodles into 4 bowls. Ladle soup over noodles. Sprinkle scallion greens, cilantro, chilies and basil over soup and serve with lime wedges

mmmmm

Thank you all for some great sounding ideas....

The Pho looks good...but a bit too 'requires chewing' for the current state of things in my mouth.

I shall have to try some of the more mushy creamy ones...Cream of spinich sounds really darned good

mmmmm soup...
