Chikin noodly

I don't have a favorite - I'm not that soupisticated.

I developed a great potato soup recipe several years back, may have posted it here. I make one kind or another of venison soup at least once a week, very popular in our house. Many good soup recipes in Eileen Clark’s (Mrs Mule Deer) Soups stews and chili cookbook, well with the small price. I generally use them as jumping off points, reconfiguring as ingredients on hand and family tastes dictate…make notes on the pages.

A suggestion to those who like the canned stuff….check out the sodium content. Learn to make your own. If you can load your own ammunition you should be able to make soup that’s better (and better for you) than the factory made stuff.

I don't have a favorite soup, but I do have a favorite color, a favorite day of the week, and a favorite Beatle.


I'm on pins and needles waiting for AlanC to get to those hot topics.

Pozole Rojo

Clam Chowder

Something I make on occasion if I have time. Chicken and sausage gumbo. I think that’s sort of a soup.

The first 2 of these are trippin my trigger, they sound so good. The grouse soup sounds/looks good as well, but grouse are really scarce here & I could never put their delicious meat in a soup. But considering you live in BC, I figure you have access to many grouse a year.

Just made a big batch of Navy Bean Soup. Love that stuff.

My minestrone probably.


I started adding some curry powder to my chicken soup and like that too.

Currently trying to find a good knoephla recipe.

You soup Nazi.

Love Lobster Bisque, too. Hard to find it in restaurants these days, though, and a PITA to make at home.

A favorite of mine, too. I make it from scratch, and always add Madeira to the soup before I top with bread and cheese, and stick it in the oven.

New England or Manhattan?

Caldo de-res (beef) & Caldo de-pollo (chicken) - Mexican soups served with a side of corn tortillas & fresh limes.

Bear Creek........or real home made

Love just about any soup, a favorite that hasn’t been mentioned is Stracciatella, chicken soup with an egg and some Pecorino Locatell Romano added. Actually, an Italian egg drop soup.

Chili is hard to beat.

I like Greek style egg drop soup better, with rice and lemon juice. Unlike Stracciatella, you add the eggs in and mix after the broth is on the warm side, not quite hot, then bring it back up to serve.

I love Chinese egg drop soup, too, and make it often. For that, you need to add the eggs and stir while the broth is still hot, near to boiling point, and only after you've thickened it with corn starch.

Wife made a big pot of ham and bean today. So that's my favorite soup, today.

Love 'em all, though. Especially dote on seafood-based ones.
