favourite soup flavour!!??

[supersarsfields]

Spud and leek is the best by a long way. Not one with lumps of spuds in it but rather one were the spuds have been through a blender and it's really thick.
Bung in a load of pepper and bobs your uncle!!

[Puckoon]

Christ its only 8.45am and Im ready to ate the end of the desk here.

StPauls , What would you throw into your chowder ?

[Niall Quinn]

Minestrone is your man

Did you know that minestrone actually means soup (or 'one soup') in Italian, so when you ask for minestrone soup, it's tantamount to tautology!

[kinghen]

In Ireland we are superb at vegetable soup.  My wife, the gourmet that she is, cannot understand when I go to top class restaurants and I ask what the soup of the day is and why I am disappointed when it is not vegetable.  This is down to far way fields syndrome when I was in England and the States.
I think that the States is the best place for soup, pea and ham, chowders, minestrone and so on.  I also think that it is the best place for cooking steak.  I know far away fields syndrome!

McElroys (rest in peace) vegetable soup.

If we're on the same page, that place was a dark old dump.  Rué's much better, same people though.

Little tiny bit of water and a big slug of Jameson - my own recpie.

Or even better save water and just have it on its own.

Ah ziggy - you are right. But it was my old dark dump, and the soup was fecking spectacular. I always enjoyed the front bar. Rue is ridiculous - 8 quid (16 dollars) for a f**king hamburger? And thats exactly how I phrased it to the boss just 2 months back.

Just back from lunch - had vietnamese seafood noodle soup. Not the most spectacular - but a good spicy feed none the less.

There is no such thing as bad soup, no matter what the mixture is its all good.

But theres something very special about veg soup made from the turkey bones at christmas,  could live on the stuff.

Actually i would be a lot healthier i'm sure if i did

Chinese chicken and sweetcorn is one of the handiest made and is lovely

However fav soup was experienced last night just.

I took a pound of ripe tomatoes (from the garden mind) slice in half
one red pepper sliced
one red onion peeled and cut into 4 quarters
3 or 4 garlic cloves unpeeled
olive oil

stick the lot in a baking tray and glug the olive oil over the top and roast at 190c for 35 mins (turn halfway through)

Put into the food blender with a couple of pints of stock and whizz her up.

Stick a fine sieve over the top of a saucepan and pour in the mix and let the sieve catch all the tomato skin and seeds.

When it has all run through stick in a pinch of sugar,a good dose of fresh ground black pepper and a wee bit of salt.
Cover and boil up for 10 mins. Take a cup full of small pasta (maccaroni) and throw it into the soup and cook it for 10 mins. The starch off the pasta will thicken the soup.
Dish it up with a bit of fresh basil on the top.

If any of you taste a better soup let me know
