If you could have any

[idgiehkt]

kind of soup in the world right now, what kind would you pick?

Seriously, I'm hungry. :)

[u4ic]

1. The Chicken Rice Soup

I had at a Cajun restaurant on Sunday.


Was that good! :9

edit: since everyone is naming names, it was at Dadeo here in Edmonton.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear idg!

I have an awesome recipe for 12 bean soup!

It is the best soup I have ever eaten.........

It's a lot of work, but oh my god, it is soooooooooo tasty!

If I could have some soup now, that would be it!

:9

[SeattleGirl]

3. The corn chowder I had at the Teatro ZinZani show in

San Francisco. YUM!!!

[idgiehkt]

21. man, I love corn chowder

I totally forgot about that stuff, yum!

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

4. Hot And sour Soup

from a place called Taipei (restaurant) in Ft. Smith

wonderful hot and sour soup
best I've ever eaten.

:9

[gemdem]

5. Homemade vegetable soup

Really just about any homemade soup sounds good right now -- chicken, navy bean, chili, clam chowder....

Mmmm!

[KitchenWitch]

6. My own homemade baked potato soup!

[SPKrazy]

32. Good!

:P

[Kutjara]

7. Mulligatawny.

I love me some curry soup.

[idgiehkt]

22. I'll have to try that,

I've heard of it but I don't think I've ever had it.

[Kutjara]

27. You won't be sorry.

It's a creamy, spicy taste of heaven.

[QMPMom]

62. Mulligatawny, definitely a contender. After I had my daughter, the only thing

that I wanted to consume was Mulligatawny soup and iced water. That soup is the best ever.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Pho...

I'm going to eat at a little Vietnamese place on Saturday. :9

[SPKrazy]

23. A Laotian Friend Showed Me The Proper Way To "Doctor up" Pho

it was good

I had a hard time eating the Pho he ordered for me because it had tendon, and tripe, and horrible tasting meatballs, but he said it was very authentic.

blah blah blah

[GoddessOfGuinness]

37. Yikes!

I doubt if I could deal with that either!

There's a little hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese place near the hall where I'm playing on Saturday. They bring a plate piled high with fresh basil, parsley, cilantro, sprouts, and hot peppers. Of course, the table has fish sauce, hot sauce, and some other sauce that I'm as yet unfamiliar with. You can have a variety of meats in your soup, or just order it plain. I prefer the chicken, myself. Green tea comes with the meal. Their "regular" sized bowl is about a quart, and costs from $4.99-6.99 depending on the meat you add.

I love this place!

[SPKrazy]

47. Wait a minute

that all sounds like the stuff he doctored it up with, but I'd rather have had the chicken too.


where are you playing on Saturday?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

60. My favorite local concert hall

Strathmore Hall :-)

[QMPMom]

65. That other stuff is most likely Hoisin Sauce. Was it a very dark

brown with a sort of sweet taste?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

66. It was!

I was reluctant to add anything sweet to the soup...

[QMPMom]

73. It's good in the soup if you like Hoisin. My son and I always add

Hoisin and Chile Sauce. My husband adds the mint and lime. He wouldn't be caught dead using Hoisin and Chile's and I can't stand the mint and lime.

The beauty of Pho is that no two bowls will ever be the same - it all depends on thelikes of the person eating the soup.

We live about 5 minutes from Little Saigon and the best Pho House in our city. I am sooooo hungry for it now! :9

[GoddessOfGuinness]

74. Well hey, it's only 5 minutes away...

Go for it! :)

[QMPMom]

64. I almost don't consider Pho a "soup". It's a meal in a bowl.

I could live on Pho.

Damn, between Mulligatawny and Pho..... Well, for SOUP, it's Mulligatawny. For Meal in a Bowl heaven, it's Pho.

[BarenakedLady]

9. French onion soup but

one that isn't made with beef stock. Is there such a thing?

[gemdem]

11. Yes.

I used to have a recipe that used a red wine reduction in the base. Don't know if I could find it again. It's been years.

[BarenakedLady]

17. Hi you!

:hi: Well if you ever do find it, send it to me please. :)

[Contrary1]

[BarenakedLady]

49. Thanks but I'm a vegetarian...

I guess I could always try it with veggie stock...

Thank you for the recipe.

[Contrary1]

68. I think you could probably substitute veggie stock

for the beef in just about any of the recipes...but here is another I found:

French Onion Soup

Portions: 6

Ingredients:
6 yellow onions
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup brandy
4-6 cups vegetable stock
salt, to taste (about 1 tsp)
crusty sourdough or french bread, cut into slices
grated Swiss Gruyere cheese

Instructions:
1. Peel onions, slice in half, then cut into half-circles.

2. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot on medium heat. Add onions and stir to coat them with the oil. Stir once every 2-3 minutes, gradually reducing the heat to low as the onions cook. If they start to stick and burn at any time, add a tablespoon or two of water.

3. After about 30 minutes the onions will be golden brown and very soft. Add brandy and stir for about 10 seconds to de-glaze the pan.

4. Add just enough stock to make the soup as thin as you like, then stir and cover.

5. Let simmer on lowest heat for 15 minutes, then add salt to taste.

6. Toast one bread slice per person. Ladle soup into bowls, place a slice of bread on top and sprinkle with grated cheese. Serve immediately.

Preferably from the Limerick Diner. The potatoes in the Campbell's clam chowder are too brown with an unpleasant taste.

[_testify_]

55. Lobster Bisque

That or soup my grandfather used to make. I don't know what it's called. We called it New Year's soup, cuz that's the only time he made it.

It's like potatoes, italian sausage, escarole and probably some other stuff in broth. I haven't had it since he died, and I guess I'll never have it again.

:(
