A thread for all your soup stories, soup suggestions, soup recipes, best and worst soup restaurants, soup jokes, and all your soup musings.


An Iranian man tells a friend he is going to have his wife flogged. "She is unreligious. She showed her hair to guests." "Impossible," replied his friend, "I have met your wife many times and she never took off her headscarf." "You misunderstand," said the husband, "the hair was in the soup she served to our guests at dinner." (from the repertoire of Iranian comedian Hadi Khorsandi, which resulted in him being driven out of Iran)
 
Miso excited! Let me stew on this for a ladle while
 
I make a mean chicken noodle soup! I use two quarts of organic chicken broth and add two quarts of water. Then I still an entire organic chicken in; gizzards and all. I add 1/4 cup of parsley fresh, 1/4 cup of oregano fresh, two teaspoons of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of lemon pepper and 1 clove of garlic

I let that simmer for 3 hours. After it simmers, I pull out the chicken and let it cool. I add celery, carrots a little bit of onions. Let that simmer for 30 minutes.

After I pull all the meat from the chicken; I add it into the base., along with a cup of rice and a lbs of egg noodles.

Let that simmer cool for an additional 30 minutes!


Mmmmmmm
 
Yes, but is it a "free range" chicken???

Sounds great. If you ever pick up those roast chickens at the supermarket, save the bones and freeze them in ziplock. After you have 3 chickens, bring big of water to boil, throw in the bones, an onion, some carrots, celery, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook for a long time, strain everything out, simmer longer to thicken, then pour into ice cube trays. Make home made chicken broth as ice cubes that you can save and use to make everything better. No need to buy chicken broth for your soup, throw in a couple dozen cubes and it will kick the ass of any store bought broth.
 
At a particular convent, the nuns lived under a vow of silence that could be broken only once a year. One year, at the appointed time, the clock struck 12 noon as the nuns were eating lunch and one spoke up and said, "This soup is terrible." A year passed, and at the appointed time, another sister volunteered, "I don't think it's so bad." The following year, as the clock struck 12 noon, a third nun spoke up: "Bicker, bicker, bicker!" she said.
 
My wife makes my favorite (split pea) from a recipe 100 years old. Uses a ham hock...
 
What's Martha Stewart's recipe for chicken soup?

First, boil the chicken then dump the stock.
 
The seared scallop chowder at pike chowder blows my fucking mind.

I just made soup this weekend, really basic. First, I made chicken stock (actually, I always have the basic stocks, chicken, meat, fish, and vegetable, on hand). I reduced the stock so it was concentrated, added tortellini, then dropped in some pesto I made from last year's bail and froze in ice cube trays. Quite tasty. Soup is a nice thing to bring to work for lunch since I can make a big pot, freeze in individual containers and just stick the container in my lunch bag to zap in microwave.

During sabbatical had some good vegan black bean soup at the Guerilla Cafe in Berkeley. Yes, it really is called that.

Chicken soup = Jewish penicillin
 
Recently had a totally awesome clam chowder at OX. it's a thin chowder with fresh clams in shells, a roast bone with delicious bone marrow, and a few thinly sliced Jalapenos. It might sound like a weird mix, but it was absolutely fabulous.
 
i make a really good clam chowder, then the next day, i puree the whole shebang and make another soup with whole prawns in it, and some extra tabasco, like a seafood bisque type deal (but not, clearly), but fucking yumm, try it next time you have chowder leftovers

i make thai coconut soup thats really good

i like making pho and homemade ramen soup, but those are considered noodle dishes i guess...the soup is the star though

french onion is the shit

miso is quick and tasty

beef and barley with leftover prime rib

soup kicks ass
 
any soup i make is awesome(Horst Mager taught me how)but after 20 odd years(of cooking) i am not so into it - my wife, though recently made an absolutely incredible pot of gazpacho one of my favorites!
