People often ask me what my favorite dishes to cook are and as long as I've been cooking, that's still a really tough question to answer because I enjoy cooking and baking all types of food. I usually end up responding "soups and salads" because they are my among my favorites.
I love soups so much I could cook and eat soup every day. Doesn't matter what's going on with the weather or what's in the fridge...I can always find a reason or ingredients to cook up a super-satisfying, yummy pot of soup. So, it seems appropriate that my first blog giveaway would be soup-themed.

Soup is a wonderful way to feed the body and warm the spirit. Hmmm, my favorite soup....probably a homemade Italian Wedding Soup or a winter minestrone.
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt my favorite soup is a New England Clam Chowder. I love it because it has that fresh from the sea taste from the clams, and an earthy taste from the robust potatoes and other veggies. Combine that with a thick base and you got the perfect soup.
ReplyDeleteI am following this blog on Networkedblogs via Facebook.
Ugg, I forgot to add my email addy in the comment.

Thanks for the chance to win! My fav soup is my mom's wedding soup with mini meatblass, spinach and pastini. I joined your Facebook page also.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a wonderful hot and steaming bowl of soup on a cold winter day or a nice bowl of cold soup on a hot summer day. I think my favorite soup is Mushroom Barley Soup because it's thick and rich and just delicious. Here is a link to my recipe on Allrecipes http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Very-Easy-Mushroom-Barley-Soup/Detail.aspx

Hello
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I love soup! I'm allways coming up with something differnt. I look in my frige and see what I can make into soup. I love vegetable soups alot. They can be made in so many ways! I have a recipe that I made called French Egg Drop soup, I was looking for something really differnt to make one day and came across this version. http://cakebaker35.wordpress.com/category/soups/
I had some egg drop soup at a Chinese place awhile ago and had to make some version of this soup! The French Egg Drop soup was waonderful, it was alss the first time I made any kind of egg drop soup. I guess I was afraid to try it, I don't know why, sounds silly doesn't it??? I love your site. I'm still new at blogging, and I love it! I did join your FB fan page. Your soup book looks wonderful!!! I'll be back!!! Amanda :)

My favorite soup is Panamanian style lentil & beef. Panama is smack in the tropics, but we have soup for lunch almost daily. What I like about Sopa de Lentejas is that it has a slightly thick broth without being thick. And it is packed full with root veggies like yucca, otoe and name.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the recipe here: http://wp.me/pFzw3-cz -- It's delicious!
I love soup! All kinds of soup...I guess if I had to pick a fav it would be mushroom bisque or maybe black bean soup, then again a simple creamy tomato soup is pretty awesome too! Forget it I can't pick one :)
ReplyDeleteObviously I don't know how to follow instructions. My email is a.y.cousins (at) att (dot) net I live in Houston, TX
ReplyDeleteI enjoy all of the cream soups. There's nothing like a just right bowl of cream of broccoli soup,and your inside are dancing with joy. I thought(here goes my silly mind)about bathing in some, but i know the flies will not give me a break. Cooking and eating is about having fun in doing something you Love,so enjoy with love.PLEASE ENTER TODAY.Lynn with Love!!!
ReplyDeleteSoups are my favorite.I love brocolli cheddar soup,tomato creamy onion soup(soup,http://abcofcooking.blogspot.com/2010/02/creamy-onion-soup.html#links)......
ReplyDeleteHello everyone,
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for your wonderful comments and for entering the giveaway! How is it possible that many of you have listed some of my favorite soups? I guess we can chalk it up to great minds thinking and great palettes tasting alike :>).
Wow, Italian wedding, NE clam chowder, chicken noodle, black bean, cream of broccoli, creamy tomato, are all among my favorites. If I had to choose a favorite like I've asked you guys to do, I'd have to say it would be my cream fish and corn chowder. I'll post the recipe for it at a later date.
@Sandi - your mushroom barley soup looks delicious, hearty and easy to make. Thanks for sharing the link to the recipe :>)
ReplyDelete@Amanda Bowyer - I must admit that intentionally stayed away from egg drop soup because I didn't like the way it looked. You've given me the courage to step out of my comfort zone so the next time I have an opportunity I will try it. Also, thanks for sharing the link to the recipe on Cakebaker35's blog. I've familiar with that blog. Great-looking recipes there. Thanks!
@Chefyourself - Your Sopa de Lentejas recipe looks amazing and I enjoyed learning about yuca and malanga. Thanks for the recipe and great information :>).
@Shahana - I've never heard of creamy onion soup but I love onion soup so I may give your recipe a try. Thanks for sharing the link to the recipe!
@Frederick, Frederick, Frederick...lol...I'm shaking my head vigorously trying to get rid of the image of the FLIES swarming around you in a tub full of cream of broccoli soup. Now, every time I have a bowl, I'm going to remember your comment. :>)
i really enjoy broccoli cheese soup because broccoli is my favorite veggie. i also love crab and sweet potato chowder.

My favorite soup is Chicken Tortilla Soup. I don't have the exact recipe off hand but the ingredients are: shredded chicken, chicken stock, corn, cheese, sour cream, fresh tomatoes, basil, lime, cumin, chili powder, red flakes, spinach and celery. It's very flavorful, healthy, and best of all, easy to throw together in the crockpot.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite soup is an easy one I make a lot at home. It's Cream of Asparagus but I've made it with only mushrooms and also with only broccoli. I found the recipe at allrecipes.com: http://bit.ly/dbJKEO but changed it around just a litte. One ingredient I didn't add is the soy sauce.

ReplyDeleteMy mother absolutely LOVES soup. She goes entire weeks eating different soups for lunch and dinner everyday. Her favorite is clam chowder (I like to fish out the potatoes from the soup and munch on those if there are any in the recipe :). I know she would be positively thrilled if she won this giveaway.

I dont think there is a kind of soup I don't like! It is my favorite food, but my top pick is butternut squash, because its smooth, rich and tasty!
ReplyDeletehails_18@hotmail.com
I totally agree with you.... I love soup and salad. Soup is soothing! There is nothing better than basil tomato soup on a cold winters day. Last week, I made corn chowder and took it to our friends who just had a baby. It was so yummy. Today, I am going to make carrot curry. Honestly, I need more recipes! This book would be awesome!

My absolute favorite soup is chicken noodle soup. It bring me such comfort on cold snowy days or when I'm feeling under the weather. I'll take what I can get which means I'm perfectly fine sipping on some Campbell's. But, when my mother makes HOMEMADE chicken noodle soup, it's a real treat. I go home from college whenever she mentions in passing that she's made some soup.

I love a good Tuscan Tomato Soup with chunky tomatoes and basil. I think I love it so much because it reminds me of sneaking tastes of my mother’s spaghetti sauce from the oversized pot on the stove growing up. Now, I can grab some crusty bread and a bowl of Tuscan Tomato Soup and no one can shoo me out of the kitchen. After all, it’s soup!
