It is finally getting cooler weather here in Texas and I am needing some comfort food! I really love soup year around, but really enjoy on a cold winter day! Some of my favorites are Beef Vegetable Soup, JalapeƱo Potato Soup, Tortilla soup, Chicken Noodle Soup and my list goes on and on. I only enjoy good old homemade soup not the canned store bought! What are some of your favorites?

It is so good when you can use all the fresh vegetables out of your garden for your soup! Yummy, yummy!

My daughter makes a great butternut squash soup and it's my favorite this time of year. My second is pea soup then lentil. Of course I can't forget the old standby tomato soup with grilled cheese.

Parsnip and chilli is one of my favourites. Sweet and hot. Very warming.

@Margielynn I thought I hated parsnip until I had my mum's soup and now I love them. They are quite sweet a bit like a cross between a sweet potato and a butternut squash. The soup is just a fried onion, lots of shredded parsnip (use a Kenwood Chef or other food processor) and boil up with a lot of stock and a couple of dried red chillies. Delish!

I have never eaten parsnip! What does it taste like? I would love to try it sometime! I was thinking they would taste like a turnip? But just guessing! Maybe you can help me out!

My favorite is Tom Kha Gai, a Thai chicken and coconut soup that's pretty common here on the West Coast.

@Margielynn I've never actually made it. I've only gotten it at Thai restaurants. Let us know if you give it a try.

I'm not a huge soup lover, but my husband is. His favorites, that I make for him are tortellini soup and leek soup the best.

I have not had either one, but sounds delicious, leeks are a lot like onions, right!

@Margielynn Yes, leek do resemble onions, but they need to be carefully cleaned as they can have a lot of sand in them, so they are a little more work to prepare for a soup.

I also started making peanut butter soup last year. It's good, it is mostly chicken broth, with a little peanut butter, which gives it a nutty taste!

Chili is my all time favorite cold weather anytime soup. I'm not a big fan of soup, but that is one I'll not only make home made, but eat year round.

What a comforting warm hearting discussion . I think my favorite soup would be a really rich mushroom soup, or a common bean soup with fenugreek aside.

@margielynnhghh fenugreek is the name of the plant which from him you make "hilba". well, I will give you the definition of it from Wikipedia: "seed kernels are ground and mixed with water they greatly expand, to which hot spices, turmeric and lemon juice are added to produce a frothy relish eaten with a sop". It is called "hilba" and it is usually common in the Jewish-Yemen cousin in Israel, But not only. It is eaten near the soup and it is good for blood sugar levels. Your discussion just made me want to eat some soup, so I'm going to make now a pea soup..

Tortilla soup is probably one of my favorites. I like the Bear Creek soups for a semi-homemade soup.

I love Tortilla soup too. Another favorite of mine is home made Cream of Broccoli. My sister in law gave me the recipe a long time ago.
