Charlotte Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 As it's almost time for thermal underwear here up north I have started eating soup again. It occured to me that I haven't seen any soup threads before. What is your favourite flavour? Do you make your own? Any good recipes? I have pea and ham soup today (the canned variety) and I was most disguntled to discover yesterday that it now contains carrots. What the hell? Anyway, over to you.

Matt H Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 My mum makes a killer Turkey broth (soup) after xmas by boiling up the carcus and adding a few bits and bobs. Gorgeous. Aside from that I'm not a big fan of soup but have been having quite a bit of Heinz Cream of Tom at work in my health drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I make a mean potato and leak - nice and thick. But my favourite would have to be jerusalem artichoke soup with either foie gras or truffles. I have been experimenting with plantain recently, but haven't come up with a good recipe yet.

Thorin Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Chicken. I can recommend the Tomato soup at The Grange hotel in Bracknell though, and their steaks were cooked to perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I had courgette and mushroom soup for lunch, it was shite. Heinz Tomato does the trick if I'm not being a prissy gourmet, it doesn't represent it's ingredients very well but it works on a different level. I used to like Baxters Mushroom Potage as a tinned soup but it seems harder to find these days, for fresh ones I favour the "Glorious" wild mushroom (with the Marco Pierre White name on but with virtually no input from him).

RedM Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I had courgette and mushroom soup for lunch, it was $#@!e. I like to add courgettes and mushrooms to a tin of chopped tomatoes. Add some chopped leak and a selection of herbs. Finish with a dash of chilli powder and it's a good 'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 As it's almost time for thermal underwear here up north I have started eating soup again. After all the hard work I've done up here convincing these people that Southerners aren't wimps you come out with a comment like that. I drove to work in a t-shirt this morning. It was fairly mild. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
