Do you have a favorite soup recipe that you'd like to share?

I make a good potato soup. Saute in butter diced potatoes and onions until softened a little then add chicken bullion, a can of green chilies and tomatoes diced. Serve topped with cheese and flour tortillas. I dice the veggies in larger chunks, like one inch, because I like it that way.

ETA: It also make a great creamy soup if you stick it in the blender and add a few spoonfuls of non dairy creamer. I also add crushed red pepper flakes to give it some heat.

My favourite is The Pioneer Woman's Chicken Tortilla Soup ... so freaking good

These all look amazing!

I loooove this Lasagna Soup recipe. I've made it several times now. Even my Dad, the pickiest eater alive, will happily eat it.

I make a homemade vegetable soup like what my grandmother used to make. 

You can brown some beef stew pieces and use that to flavour the broth to cook the veggies in. Salt them well and let the pieces brown the bottom of the soup pot. The broth will dissolve all that goodness. Or you can add a tablespoon or two of the beef stock concentrate.

I buy bags of my favourite frozen veggies, throw them in the pot with chicken or beef stock, and simmer for hours. I cook it longer when I use the beef stew so the pieces get fall apart tender. 

My grandmother sometimes used ground chuck, but it doesn't hold together and has very little flavouring in the finished soup. 

There really isn't a recipe per se. 

I usually use baby lima beans, green beans, black eyed peas or field peas, onions, diced potatoes and corn and let that simmer in the broth until tender. I also sometimes add in shredded cabbage and frozen collard greens. I don't do that as much now since greens are hard for me to digest. Then I add two large cans of whole tomatoes and the juice and let the tomatoes cook down until there's no big pieces left. My grandmother canned her home grown tomatoes, and the canned whole tomatoes are the closest to her homemade canned ones. 

In the summer when I can get lots of tomatoes for cheap, I'll just toss in several tomatoes whole. You don't even have to peel them because the soup will cause the peels to fall out and all you have to do is pull the peels out whole. 

I make a big pot in my 7 qt stockpot and freeze in individual servings. Or I try. I usually just wind up eating the whole pot for my meals that week. 

The soup is really good, but it's also such a vivid reminder of happy days hanging with my grandparents, cooking in the kitchen with grandma and laughing at my grandfather's running dry wit commentary of what we are doing. He was really sick and had to hang out in his recliner most of the time. He was still so positive and upbeat. He's one of my favourite people, and I'm proud to be just like him. My parents yelled and fought all the time, so it was really nice to be around a couple that actually enjoyed each other's company. So when I make the soup, I inhale it all because it brings back those memories.

I cook pretty "clean" which is why I really like her recipe   

I'm a fan of minestrone soup, too and this one is easy. It says to make it in a slow cooker but I've always made it on the stovetop. It's a favorite in the winter.

I just pinned this-I love that I can make it vegetarian for me when the boy is gone, but can add the turkey when he is here (I will eat ground turkey, but when the kid(s) are gone, I prefer not to.)

Thank you! 

Me, too!!

Yum!  Marking my spot. So many of these look wonderful!

We love this one: Butternut Squash Soup
