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 mothers Scotch Broth, cannae whack it

My late Grandads legendary tattie soup, he chucked in a flank o mutton and tatties and carrots from his own extensive veg patch
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.
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
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.
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.
Cullen Skink
Pea and Ham
And of course Granny’s style Lentil as others have mentioned!
I’m not a soup fan, but my wife’s Garam-masala sweet potato with sriracha on top takes some beating.
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
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.
Quite happy to eat most soups but, I can't stand lentil.
Funnily enough I made lentil soup tonight. Kids love "dad's soup" here
Scotch broth with loads of peas and barley.
I made a cracking cullen skink with Arbroath smokies, floury tatties to thicken it and firmer ones for the chunks.
The ultimate comfort food.
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 😳
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.
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.
