Favourite Soup

[Donegal Hibby]

After a walk on the beach on a particularly cold day I returned to have a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup which is my favourite and got me wondering have you got a favourite soup too ? .

Lentil soup.

It was my gran's recipe, then my mum's, now mine.

It's the only soup my 6 yo daughter will eat. Whenever my partner says it's soup for tea, she asks "is it dad's?" then tuts if it's not, which absolutely delights me.

I had some of my mum's soup over the weekend (basically the same as mine only I've not made it) and it was as delightful as it's ever been.

My late Grandads legendary tattie soup, he chucked in a flank o mutton and tatties and carrots from his own extensive veg patch

[Hibbyradge]

I like all soups.

Lentil and bacon is delicious but a good, homemade mushroom soup is a delight too.

I make mean carrot and coriander (secret ingredient - chilli flakes) and my red lentil and chorizo (also featuring chilli flakes) is out of this world.

Here's the recipe if you're interested;

3rd of a ring of chorizo chopped length ways into quarters and chop into small pieces, fry gently until oils are released.

Add 3 large carrots cut into similar small chunks, then add small amount of chilli flakes, add paprika (lots).

Stir, then add small sieve full of dried red lentils (well rinsed) and 1.3 litres of chicken/veg stock. Bring to boil and simmer for 20 mins until carrots are tender.

You can blend or not.

You're welcome.

My papa made mince and tatties as a soup, which was a lot nicer than it sounds. He also did a kind of soup-hybrid dried peas thing which was a thing of beauty with vinegar.

Spicy Raman Japanese soup is my fav

Love lentil with a big bit of ham with the meat falling away from the bone.

Always love the sour soups I have when I've been in Poland but never made them and really should

[Pretty Boy]

Lentil soup is a classic. I still make it the way my granny taught me about 25 years ago and I think she learned from her granny.

I make curried parsnip soup during the winter which always goes down well. Really nice with some roasted pumpkin seeds as a garnish. Also like Mulligitawnay for the winter.

In the summer I make a really light three bean minestrone inspired soup which is great.

I really like all the classics. Potato and leek, Scotch broth, pea and ham. Big hunk of bread for dipping. Can't beat it.

[Dmas]

My mum makes cracking soup lentil, broccoli and mushroom the pick of the bunch, if I’m having a tin of Heinz soup it’s got to be oxtail cracking stuff

Incidentally my wife hates soup and finds the idea of eating it really unpleasant and gets quite upset about it. She struggles with things like milkshakes and melted ice cream as well.

I used to think it was all a bit ridiculous but she has been told by a doctor that it could be a form of cibophoboa and hypnosis and CBT were both suggested.

[Mikey_1875]

Cullen Skink
Pea and Ham
And of course Granny’s style Lentil as others have mentioned!

[Jones28]

I’m not a soup fan, but my wife’s Garam-masala sweet potato with sriracha on top takes some beating.

[Billy Whizz]

I always have soup as a starter in a restaurant, rather than a sweet
I love nearly all soup, apart from anything with fish in it
You can’t beat homemade soup though, with crusty bread

[Hiber-nation]

My wife's split pea soup, recipe passed down from her Gran

And her Minestrone from some recipe book somewhere.

Hardly ever have the tinned stuff. Heinz lentil isn't bad if you have a craving.

Cream of broccoli and stilton with garlic bread on the side or ham and lentil with the stock made from a ham hough.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Quite happy to eat most soups but, I can't stand lentil.

[Hibby Bairn]

In Turkey they squeeze lemon juice onto their lentil soup. Very tasty. Use lamb stock instead of ham. Delicious.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Funnily enough I made lentil soup tonight. Kids love "dad's soup" here

[Jim44]

Scotch broth with loads of peas and barley.

[Caversham Green]

I made a cracking cullen skink with Arbroath smokies, floury tatties to thicken it and firmer ones for the chunks.

The ultimate comfort food.

[Bridge hibs]

My bairns loved my chunky home made soup with bread in the winter when they came home from school, my Wife though always wanted her soup blitzed as she didnt like it chinky 😳

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

How could she not like Hot & Sour soup? ☺️

[Pete70]

My late mums lentil soup was fantastic. Unfortunately she never left me the recipe and every attempt I’ve made at making it just hasn’t been the same.

Oops 🫣 meant chunky 🫢

[RyeSloan]

Not overly a soup fan these days. Back in the day the mums ‘stick to yer ribs’ lentil and others were heartily consumed after school tho!

But I do make an occasional sweet potato soup.

Simple as that really…mashed or blitzed sweet potato with a veg stock cube and some salt / pepper.

Spicy and filling yet simple and totally vegetarian / vegan if you are into that kind of thing.

Sometimes when walking around I smell soups being cooked and it always takes me back to my Grandads. Those days very little was purchased from the shops other than the essentials such as sugar, butter, flour and meats which were mostly on the bone and would be used more than once

My Grandad grew everything our climate allowed, juicy apples, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries for his crumbles and tarts. His veg was scarily alien in size, tatties and turnips the size of boulders, onions the size of small footballs and carrots that would feed bugs bunny and family for a month

My Nanas job was chief peeler which she done from her armchair with a big steel basin of water at her feet and the only time she was allowed into the kitchen was to do the washing and use the mangle

All the small peelings went back into the garden to be used as a mulch and the larger tattie peelings were deep fried in beef dripping and served with home made steak pie and boiled spuds

Absolutely brilliant!

I made American clam chowder a few years back and it had a similar taste in some ways.

When its really hot, I like gazpacho but spicey. Be careful, Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it too

BBC are in the soup with Duck L'Orange.

Nothing else needs said.

Carrot and coriander
Tattie soup
Curried carrot
Heinz tomato

[WeeRussell]

Oxtail is number 1. Has been for many, many years.

Others grabbing european spots are tomato (and red pepper), lentil, and chicken noodle - especially from chinese restaurants.

Nice little hack for really good leek and tattie soup - large leek, chopped and sweated down. Crush up a large sharing bag of a decent brand of crisps - a kettle chips or a taste the difference type. Go for ready salted, but I’ve also experimented with some flavours too. Add this to your leeks, mix it up, and add some stock (hold some back so you can add more later on if you need to make it thinner).

Simmer for fifteen minutes or so and blitz up.

It’s super potatoey, seasoned for you, and has so much flavour.

That sounds so sheite, but I believe you!

I'll try it.

For a short sentence this takes a bit of unpicking [emoji1787]

Highly recommend Ribollita, an Italian bean soup. Discovered it late last year and have been making it most weeks since.

Just to clarify - nothing other than what has been mentioned here, as in no additional potatoes added?

Just leek in oil sweated down, crisps, and then stock?

Which stock do you tend to prefer?

I usually use chicken or veg stock in any of my potato soups.

But no additional potatoes and use minimal oil for your leeks. Just the minimum that you need.

As the potatoes are browned in the crisp making process, it maximises the potato flavour and the residual oil in them when blended makes it quite silky.

Heinz Oxtail Soup, the go to soup on a cold winters day

I had an Algerian octopus soup in France last week (as in the recipe was Algerian, I've no idea what nationality the octopus was).

It was amazing. Loads of chilli, garlic, coriander and fennel and a hearty helping of bulgur wheat to thicken it. Definitely going to try and recreate the recipe.
