Any soup fans out there?

Potato soup is my favorite with Pasta fagioli a close second.

You?

When I was a teenager, I got a job in a kitchen and one day that was on the menu. I had no idea on how to pronounce the word fagioli and pronounced it just the way it looks and almost got laughed out of the place.

But anyway I gotta go with my Grandma's Mulligan Stew.

Great thread. I actually asked, in another thread what was better, hot and sour or wonton. I go with hot and sour.

However, my favorite soup is the Progresso Hearty Tomato!!!

Pasta fagioli is da bomb as well.

I love Manhattan Clam Chowder.

If your favorite soup is out of a can, you fail at culture.

F yeah it is. That **** is awesome.

One of my favorite meals is grilled cheese and hearty tomato, its a weekly thing.

Its more so because of its accessability I guess than actuall overall flavor.

At least I dont fail at life....loser.

My mother makes a cabbage soup that is absolutely to die for.

I love soup.

My father (a former restaurant owner) makes a cabbage soup that is off the charts. It is red (tomato based), sweet & sour, and has c0cktail sized meatballs in it. It is to die for.

Other favorites of mine:

Manahattan Clam Chowder

Gumbo of any kind

Cream of Chicken

EDIT: LOL, I had to sub a zero for the "o" in c0cktail.

Well, Tortellini is from Bologna, so I am assuming this soup comes from there.

Its very simple...Make your own chicken broth (key) home made tortellini, baby spinach, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Gagoots is a scholar. As a former chef, I was about to make that point. Unless you are at gunpoint--and even then think twice--forget all the store bought broth/stocks. You are better off using plain water--as many traditional Italian soups employ--added to your base of onions (some leeks if you're smart), carrot and celery. The classic ratio is two parts onion to one part each of carrot and celery. I tend to use less celery as I think it overwhelms the stock or soup. Your stock will also benefit from a bouquet garni (or you can just add these to the stock pot and strain out later) of fresh thyme, parsley stems, peppercorns, one or two cloves, and a bay leaf. Finally, if you can find veal knuckles, add to your "chicken" stock recipe. They will add great flavor and richness.

My favorite soup is still my Mom's chicken/veal broth (brodo) with her homemade agnolini, or cappelletti (little hats) if you're not from our region. You walk into her house on a cold day and smell that soup, and your spirit is immediately uplifted. My Dad had a bypass in 1990 and hated the hospital food so much that he lost a ton of weight. My Mom made this soup the day he came home, and you could literally see the life go back into him when he walked in the door and got a whiff of that soup of the gods. Grazie, Ma.

i make a homemade chicken soup with matzoh balls that have made men bow down to me.. ( can you imagine? :lol: )

anyway.. other then tomato soup.. i havent found a soup i didnt like.

I just did a huge double take on your post. I thought--seriously--that it said, "made men go down on me". I was, like, is GG saying this? LOL. You will appreciate this: My wife admitted that this Ginz makes better matzoh balls than her mom. Fluffy as a porn set, GG. The only difference to my soup stock is using dill and parsnips instead of thyme and carrots.
