Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you have a favorite Soup ???

Fat beef cut up in chunks, celery , onion, carrots, tomatoes, tomato sauce. Sometimes a can of corn, and every now and then some okra. Well seasoned with black pepper and Tony Chachere's.

Favorite soup is mushroom. Not the canned or package type! In Europe, soups are popular menu items and every restaurant has a different version. Quite fun and tasty to sample the different varieties and “takes” from each chef.

I love soup! Take me to the finest restaurant and I’ll not get past the soup menu. Had cabbage and bacon and beef with brown broth for supper. There is one bowl of leftovers…probably won’t make it thru the night.

Favorites…Mexican Seven Seas, most any kind of chowder - most favorite - old fashioned southern potato soup.

Least favorite- chicken, turkey or beef noodle. Absolutely the least favorite is cold tomato aspic…retch!

Cream of Mushroom as prepared by a steakhouse on hwy 41 near Danville IL(?)
FANTASTIC, but likely gone.

Homemade Clam chowder, super simple and easy to make.
I also like Wisconsin chili, not sure if that’s the correct name. But Grandma came from there and she is the one who called it that. Basically its a spaghetti soup with burger kidney beans ,tomato sauce( spaghetti sauce thinned), diced tomatoes,onion seasoning. My mom makes it a little on the sweet side and my wife and I make it spicy. Add cornbread and dinner is served.
I love soups and make a lot of them. Well I did before doing carnivore.
My wifes favorite is cheese soup. We used to go to a Mexican restaurant that served it before the entree.
Think a flavorful chicken gravy on the thinner side poured over shredded jack cheese. I can make it for her in less than 10 min and it gets me ……well bonus points 😉

I make chicken stock, by chopping an onion, carrot and a couple of sticks of celery, then adding a bit of salt, a bayleaf, a boiler chicken (much better flavour from an old bird) and enough water to cover in a pressure cooker, I bring it up to pressure and give it 45 minutes.

From there, I put it in the fridge overnight, and next evening I skim off any fat, and take all the meat off the bones, discarding the bones.

I can then use it a number of ways - add some pumpkin perhaps, or some barley and veges, or some potatoes and chicken giblets. I did it just this week with spuds and giblets.

I also do something similar with the last of a leg of ham - bone and all - instead of the chicken. This goes well with a double handful of roasted and peeled chestnuts, or barley, or split peas.

Another one I have been doing as we've come to the end of summer here is really quick and simple: gazpacho. A few tomatoes, half a green capsicum and a cucumber, with a couple of cloves of garlic, some balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Run it in the blender until it is smooth and serve. No cooking required. You can also add a bit of bread if you want it thicker.

Yakamien.

Ramen...

Sometimes I eat it dry, smeared with peanut-butter.

Home made clam chowder and home made beer cheese are my favorites.

That Progresso clam chowder is good, but my favorite now is the Progresso Chicken & Sausage gumbo. Real tasty.

How about a good wood duck and sausage gumbo with okra, is that soup or stew?

Homemade bean & ham.

Chicken w/rice.

MM

Sounds like a great soup! Never had Wood duck. I like anything Duck though, even Duck eggs!

That reminds me...I was going to try making that.


I make a similar soup with pork.

I came in hungry so just now I put together some salvage turkey from Christmas, chopped up celery, bell pepper, and onion, a can of store brand cream of chicken, a small amount of left over light red kidney beans and sausage, two slightly expired Rice A Roni single meal chicken flavor packs. It ain't bad and didn't cost much.

Wood duck is one of the consistently best tasting ducks there is. I've never cleaned on that had eaten any kind fish or shellfish. Teal are real good also but there isn't much to one.

Alan C: My favorites are:
#1 = Manhattan Clam Chowder
#2 = Cream of Potato
#3 = New England Clam Chowder
#4 = Wifes Turkey Noodle Soup
#5 = Chili Con Carne
#6 = My homemade Venison Stew

Holy cry!

Ever since we dissected clams or oysters or what we they were in school I can’t even contemplate it. The smell and texture just…. No.

Funny because I’ve cleaned gutshot critters and hauled off rotten carcasses but it never bugged me as far as eating real meat.
