My new favorite soup

Recommended Posts

Clamato with a package of frozen succotash thrown in!

 

Yeah, Chowders are the king of soups. I personally think that crawfish chowder is the best, though you can't really get it around here.

None of you are from Indiana so you won't have had this but Between the Bun's (less gay then it sounds, it's a sports bar) has a vegtable soup made fresh every day that can't be beat. Also a Stuffed Green Pepper soup that's really good.

Gumbo or jambalaya soup are wonderful if made well too.

 

They must be made with okra, not roux, though. Roux is fucking gross. And I imagine okra's a lot better for you.

 

And french onion soup is always good, and I feel more confident ordering it at a place I don't know than chowder. You can get some baaaad chowder, even at some decent restaurants.

Clam Chowder is easy to make

 

Clams

Clam Juice

potatos

onions

basel

heavy cream

milk

salt and pepper to taste

 

you can add a bit of bacon or celery too if desired, but that's basically it.

I've gotten clam chowder the consistency of phlegm at a restaurant before. They had probably over-thickened it with corn starch, either way, it was fucking disgusting. It was gelatinous.

 

French onion soup is even easier:

 

Onions

Beef stock

stale bread

cheese.

 

You cannot screw that up.

Cream of Broccoli w/cheese base > all other soups

 

I agree, minus the cheese base. I think regular cream of broccoli is good enough on its own. Cheese just taints it.

Matzo Ball soup goes unmentioned? Pshaw.

 

Progresso has sucessfully ruined their Beef Barley soup, which was amazing, by making it "hearty". Seriously, who the fuck wants a chunky soup? the broth is the best part of soup.

Has anyone ever had Manhatten Clam Chowder? I never had because I didn't like the idea of tomato-based clam chowder......I have only eaten the Boston/New England style and it is fucking great.

Goulash soup is the best followed by Ministrone

 

Goulash is more of a stew, or slop more than anything, in my books.

 

I'd have said my Aunt's potato and leek, but homemade shouldn't count.

 

I started a "Worldwide Best Soup" search in 1997. Olive Garden's Zuppa Tuscgana still has the leade, but the aunt asterisk applies big time.
