| Favorite soups thread With the weather cooling down, it's a great time of year to just cook soup all day. My personal favorite: pozole rojo 1 big can of hominy a couple of pigs feet split a pound or so of smoked neckbones a pound or sp of pork shoulder a couple of cloves of garlic 8-10 ancho chiles 1. Toast the anchos, boil them, turn off the heat and cover, and let soak for half an hour. Then drain the water and blend them with a little water. 2. Dice the garlic, dump all the meat into a pot with the garlic and ancho blend, cover with water, cover the pot, and cook all day. Should probably strain the ancho blend through a sieve too. 3. An hour or so before serving get all the nasty cartilage, pigfeet knuckles, bones, etc out of the pot (pain in the butt to do) and add the hominy. 4. Salt to taste 5. Dice some onion and cilantro to dump into your bowl with the pozole, and fry up some tortilla strips or put some cabbage on top to give it a little crunch. A squeeze of lime is good for the flavor too. A little bit Mexican oregano sprinkled on top adds a lot of flavor too, but note the emphasis on little bit; it has a pretty strong flavor and should be used lightly. Like almost all soups, it tastes even better the next day after being in the refrigerator. It has a nice and strong pork flavor.

| If I could make French onion soup with the bread crust on the top like my favorite little restaurant does, I would be in heaven.

| Of all places, Outback Steakhouse does that so well. Too bad their steaks are so lousy.

| Soup is my favorite type of meal EVER! My favorite is Italian Wedding soup. Don't know a recipe but my dad makes it better than any I've had at authentic Italian restaurants. I also love the chicken gnocchi soup from Olive Garden

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I have an awesome recipe for Hot and Sour Soup (meat or non-meat) and a Mushroom Bisque. Salmon or Lobster bisque is also one of my faves!

| BEST EVER Potato Soup Ingredients 1 pound Sliced Bacon, chopped Step 1 In a large pot or dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Remove bacon from pan, and set aside. Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon grease. Ingredients 1 1⁄2 cups Celery Stalk, diced 1 1⁄2 cups Onion, diced 3 cloves Garlic, minced 8 Potatoes, medium-large sized 4 cups Chicken Stock Step 2 In the bacon grease remaining in the pan, saute the celery and onion until onion begins to turn clear. Add the garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Return the bacon to the pan, and add enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes. Cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender. Ingredients 3 tablespoons Butter 1⁄4 can Flour 1 cup Heavy Cream 3 teaspoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped Step 3 Meanwhile, in a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream and cilantro. Bring the cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Step 4 Puree about 1/2 the soup, and return to the pan. Adjust seasonings to taste. (I almost never add more salt, as the bacon provides plenty of seasoning!) Cilantro sounds weird in potato soup, but it adds amazing freshness and flavor to the soup! Don't leave it out, unless you hate cilantro!

| DH and I are Italian and he makes a really good Wedding soup. Does your Dad make a crouton type "dough" that you roll into a log and slice into thin rounds that you add to the soup? I agree with you, this soup is one of my fav. Last edited by Annie09; 10-10-2013 at 03:06 AM. |

| I can't cook worth a darn, but I do love a few soups! I like Tim Horton's chicken noodle soup. And a local restaurant, Apollo, has amazing potato cabbage soup every Wednesday. And another local restaurant, Lucky's Steakhouse, has wonderful steak vegetable soup available any day of the week...and they have the most delicious bread I've ever had anywhere! It's a definite 'must visit' if you're ever in Mid-Michigan.

FRENCH ONION SOUP WITH CHEESE CROUTES 3 tbsp. butter 2 tsp olive oil 2 1/2 lbs onions, peeled and sliced 1 tsp superfine sugar 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour 1 tbsp. sherry vinegar 2 tbsp. brandy 1/2 cup dry white wine 4 cups boiling beef, chicken or duck stock 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme Salt + ground black pepper For the croutes: 4 slices day-old French stick or baguette/1" thick 1 garlic clove 1 tsp French mustard 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese 1) Put the butter + olive oil in a slow cooker, heat on 'high' for about 15 mins 'til melted. 2) Add the onions to the pot, stir to coat. Cover with the lid and cook for 2 hours. Stir halfway through. 3) Add the sugar - stir well. Cover again, and continue to cook on 'high' for 4 hours. Stir every hour, to ensure the onions are colouring evenly. At the end of this time, they should be a dark golden colour. 4) Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to mix. Next, stir in the vinegar, followed by the brandy, then slowly blend in the wine. Stir in the stock and thyme, and season with the salt + pepper. Cook on 'high' for a further 2 hours, or until the onions are very tender. 5) For the croutes - place the bread slices under a low grill (broiler?!!? ) and cook until dry and slightly browned. Rub the bread with the cut surface of the garlic and spread with mustard, then sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over the slices. 6) Turn the broiler to high, and cook the croutes for 2-3 mins., until the cheese melts, bubbles and browns. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and float a Gruyere croute on top of each. Serve straight away. Enjoy!! Sally x | |

| Tippins Restaurant & Pie Pantry in Arlington used to do a great one, too. A good French Onion Soup w/crust followed by a tall piece of pie was just the best lunch.
