I don't eat soup at all because I eat very low carb. I wish I knew of a good very low carb soup! I don't think it exist....

There's nothing like a bowl of hot soup or chili to warm your cockles on a cold day. Here are some of my favorites:

   Chili

   Vegetable beef and barley soup

   Sausage and tortellini soup

   Chicken vegetable soup

   Split pea soup

 

We like to have the chili with corn bread and the others with warm crusty bread or rolls.

Re: Food talk: What is your favorite........

I have made loads of vegetable beef soup which was almost a vegetable stew in cold weather. .  DH and our sons couldn't get enough. 

 

Now, I make more stew with the most lean stew beef or I cut up a rump roast, big pieces of onions, and fresh mushrooms with a splash of burgandy wine.

 

During the summer we grill often.

@Andreatoo  I love to make soups starting in the fall and throughout the winter. Such a satisfying supper with warm Italian bread. Sometimes even warm garlic bread.

 

When I go out to eat, which hasn't happened in a long time now, lol, I like to order the soup over the salad option. Matzo ball, lentil or chicken noodle.

 

When I make soup, i like to make, Italian Wedding, pasta e fa gioli, kielbasa with white beans and kale, chicken and egg noodles with some carrot and celery, split pea with a leftover ham shank that I keep in the freezer for winter soup making, French Onion started with short ribs and finished off with cognac and of course ozzey, gooey gruyere cheese on Italian bread that I butter and spread with roasted garlic.

 

I look forward to fall/winter and my soup making.Smiley Very Happy

I forgot to mention that I played around and made butternut squash soup! It was delicious and I learned a valuable lesson: Don't blend anything hot! Lol (I now own an immersion blender)

Caldo de Res, with just prepared, warm flour tortillas. I can make it myself, but don't anymore, since many of my local Mexican restaurants have wonderful soups. Besides, I don't want to make a giant pot for one.

 

I'm also a fan of Menudo, on a cold winter's day, but many aren't. That, I would never try to make. I leave that one to the experts. 


@BlueFinch 

What is Caldo de Res?


@Andreatoo It's a beef and vegetable soup. A rich broth is made from beef shank and beef bones, then corn (usually still on the cob, broken in half), potatoes, cabbage and any other veggie of preference is added, along with lots of cilantro and traditional Mexican seasonings such as, chili powder, comino and of course, lots  of garlic/onions and jalapeno's if you like it hot. Good stuff.

Re: Food talk: What is your favorite........

I rarely, if ever, order soup from a restaurant.  They're just not as good as homemade.  I can eat soup year round but normally only make it in the fall & winter.  My favorite is Southwest Chicken Tortilla.  However, I've made it so much the past few years and I was getting a little tired of the last time I fixed it..  I also love a good loaded chili, Beef Vegetable Barley and Potato Soup.  I don't care for a creamy or pureed soup.  They have to be hearty and loaded with a protein, vegetables, grains, etc.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

Chili.

 

I did not know that soups had weather conditions to eat.
