well today I made a simple but tasty soup. Roasted garlic eggdrop soup with lump crabmeat. Add some thyme and roasted garlic to homemade chicken stock. Mix in beaten eggs with lemon juice and add crabmeat and parsley. Done. Serve with crusty loaf. Went over well with the crowd tonight. Big fan.

ive had a green mole soup at the oaxacan spot in town. pretty good!

i need something hearty for this winter.
 
do u guys know about the soup at the chinee spots? u gotta be one of us to get it. sometimes even i can pass. its nothing that special except for the fact that we all get it and as usual white folks are all bitchy about it. i mean, its just some shitty soup, but if i white dude sees u getting a bowl for free they will almost always complain.

anyways, its more of a medicinal thing. i remember kqed radio did like a expose on it or something which was kinda awesome. im sure they went into it more in depth but its basically all them chinese herbs and wood chips n shit cores and ends of veggies neckbones etc. simmered all day long. i kinda like it, it tastes like ass and weird animal parts like ballnuts and spleens or whatevers but it tastes healthy. and i get it FREE!
 
Most "americans" call chinese soup (other then egg drop/hot & sour soup) "dishwater soup."

It's an acquired taste. I prefer a hearty vegetable/minestrone any day though.

Real talk on soups is Chili or Gumbo or Stew + Bread/crackers is an unstoppable combo.
 
Red Manhattan clam/fish chowder any day all day too. Sorry to all the White Chowder lovers.

Yes, this is a soup made in the winter time. My mom makes it, it smells gnarls but all the gingseng and herbs (not FDA approved at all) are pretty "refreshing"
 
yes chowders and stews for the cold weather. dai ho, the noodle nazi, his taiwanese beef noodle stew has gone slightly downhill. way too much oil.

I will have to try it sometime. Classic nio ro mien (beef noodle soup) has a bit of oil floating around on the top. Can't beat the thick noodle and cilantro and oh my. Okay sorry I am passionate about good soup.

yes, agreed. but theres so much oil in the soup that it basically insulates all the heat and that shit is so oily it stays boiling hot for like a half hour.
 
Shig,

I love me some soup, second only to sandwiches and both of which are awesome with a touch of bacon in almost all cases.

Here are some of my favorites and probably very common choices:

Potato Cheddar With BACON
Mulligatawny soup
Moroccan lentil soup
Tuscan White Bean Soup
Corn Chowder With Bacon
Avgolemono Greek Chicken Soup
Thai Coconut / Pumpkin Soup
Butternut Ginger / or Curry
French Onion with a big ol' piece of bread w/ melted mozzarella
Tortilla Soup
Broccoli Cheddar soup
Turkey Noodle
Potato Leek
Beer Cheese Soup
Roasted Red Pepper
Cream of Cauliflower, Asparagus, Celery
Tomato Bisque ( also Lobster and Smoked Salmon are good at times)
Cuban Black Bean ( must have swirl of sour cream )
Chicken and Wild Rice
Hangover Soup ( basically greens boiled, flavored and pulverized )

The possibilities are truly endless and a lot of these are really easy to make....especially stews and chowders. A good size pot can last 2-3 people 3-4 days.

Good Bread is a must. Damn, Now I'm craving.
 
Just Alice,

Somehow i am dying for soup and isn't even 7 a.m.- so, thanks.

Adding two faves here:

Italian Wedding Soup, with a hunk of old bread.

Cream of Mushroom. I get a can of the campell's, add a little milk and let is warm while i season and roast up a bunch of mushrooms on the side. When both are done i mix together, throw in a bread bowl and call it a day.

Bread bowl appreciation post.
 
Senegalese Chicken Soup

It's tomato and peanut based, and spicy as hell. Good stuff, but be careful with those peppers???the first time I made it it was the hottest thing I'd ever eaten.
