Homemade Soup

I like to make vegetable soup. What I add to it really depends on what I have on hand. However, I am a big fan of adding turmeric to just about everything. Garlic is another thing that I often add to food. Beyond that, it really depends on what happens to be in the fridge.

Tomato soup is great! I also love it so much. For me, may favourite would be onion soup, I love onions and thinking that it's so great for health too, warm and comfortable to eat, I'd also like to eat corn and chicken soup, that's a truly good food to have when you suffer from cold.

I guess it really depends on how it is made. I like turkey noodle soup the best if it is made by a certain person I know. That would be my favorite ever. Then there are some places that make out of this world chicken soup. Overall, consistently, I would put clam chowder up there, but I don't know if you consider a chowder a soup. I just wish they would not put potatoes in it.

Chili is my favorite and I am making that for supper because its so chilly out today. I love soups in the cooler months....after that it's veggie beef..then chicken noodle.....

My sister grows her own tomatoes most summers and saves some for soup, sauce, etc. She cooks them up then freezes them in containers, taking out what she needs through the winter. She used to can but it's not practical with just herself to feed and she's too busy! Have you thought about that? You can use the tomatoes when you need them without waste and the texture doesn't matter so much in soups and sauces. And please don't tell me there's no room in the freezer because of all the processed frozen foods! I like butternut squash soup. You puree the cooked squash with a pear--I use canned pears--then add some nutmeg and simmer it to blend the flavors. It's pretty as well as delicious. I also like my stepmother's vegetable soup which I'm unable to duplicate even though I've watched her make it and she gave me the recipe, must be the love she adds! My other favorite soup is a meatball stew that originally started out as a corn chowder recipe and I kept changing it. Now everyone loves it. Then there's navy beans and ham and, of course, homemade split pea soup--yum!!

Wow, good for you living off the land! I also love soup in the cooler months and have already made some of my special recipes since we've had a blast of cold come through here. I made one of my favorite soups yesterday for dinner and I call it "Baked Potato Soup". I usually make my own chicken broth leftover from a baked chicken roaster and use that alongside milk and additional chicken bouillon for extra flavor; flour for thickener; baked potatoes with skins cut up; salt (if needed); pepper; crispy bacon; cheddar cheese. Now it's starting to sound like a loaded baked potato...this time I used some leftover carrots and peas but I usually add a bit of broccoli. What I find about soup is that I like it better the second day, marinating in its own juices and sometimes thickening even more to resemble a stew.

I froze a lot of my tomatoes that grew this past summer. I foumd nothing else grew as it was so hot and dry here. We still have containers of tomatoes in the freezer now. I use them in soups as well, I just take the skin off and throw them in stews,and soups.

I like soup too but get very lazy to make one..haha. How do you make soup tasty??? I have had soups from restaurants and they very tasty. But when I make it at home, They are like tasteless.lol Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
