...but I have never tried making soups at home. The only soups I make are the ready to make packs that we get at the super market. Any suggestions on how to make delicious soups at home. Both veg and non veg.

I basically live out of a crock pot on soup. Beans, potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, celery, turkey, sometimes the kitchen sink. I make all kinds of soups. * There are a few critical ingredients for a soup. Salt, pepper, onion, carrot, celery. The rest is up to you. You can add a flavor mix if you don't really know what your doing. Aujus Gravy mix was what I started with when I was a novice. * http://www.espicebazar.com/images/AuJusGravy.jpg * Other good novice helpers are the onion soup mix packs. * http://www.freshdirect.com/media/images/product/specialty_three/spe_liptongef_onionmix_p.jpg * http://www.loebglebeonline.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/lipton%20onion%20garlic.jpg * Any kind of meat can be added to a soup, although I've personally never done fish.

Here is a very simple way to make a delicious vegetable soup! Just mix together one can of tomato juice, a large can of mixed vegetables, and a can of cooked roast beef. Just heat it up and you're ready to eat!

well the soups i know are all chinese. it's pretty easy but might take some time. just add all the ingredients into the pot, add water and boil for a few hours. the ingredients usually consist of chicken/pork bones and one vegetable. add a few red dates and wolfberries for flavour. common vegetables used for soup making are old cucumber, watercress and sichuan-style preserved vegetable. just add any one of these with the bones and boil. these are clear soup which is good to have with a meal. i'm not sure if these are common ingredients where you are though.
