Potato and leek soup. Making it it tonight. Can’t wait!!
Make some for me too, please
Roasted butternut squash with carrot and red pepper, needs a good kick of ginger and black pepper.
Miso or Thai Tom Yum(?)
Chicken soups. Especially the never plain ones with few ingredients.
Split pea with a mountain of crackers
Carrot Orange soup - hear me out, this is awesome. Coarse chop onions and sauté in a soup pot. Add a bunch of chopped carrots and cook with some veg stock. When tender use stick blender to make smooth and add orange juice, salt and pepper to taste. My wife makes this whenever someone is sick or has a surgery and feels weak. It is a magic soup!
All my fellow mushroom soup lovers should make some Hungarian mushroom soup sometime. So good.
My favorite soups that I occasionally make are duck pho, lobster bisque (it has been way too long since I've made this one, but it's a lot of work), fish chowder, French onion soup, and Hungarian mushroom soup.
I make this cream-based Cajun chicken noodle soup. It’s bonkers good with a slight afterburn counterbalanced by the cream. 11/10 amazing.
When I’d make it for the restaurant, we’d go through half of it just from the staff performing “quality control checks.”
Do you happen to have a link to the Mushroom soup recipe you made or something similar?
Here's one I really like. What I found makes it is that the mushrooms are fried first. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/235589/chef-johns-creamy-mushroom-soup/
Not for soups, but a tip for frying mushrooms and getting rid of the mushrooms texture that a lot of people hate is parboiling it in salt water for 3-5 minutes before going in a very hot pan.
Of if there is no time for that, salting it at the end of the cooking process helps it now reabsorb the moisture it sweats out!
Potato stew! Potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, no blending or milk
Chicken soup and lentil soup. Especially lentil soup, I can't recommend it enough. Look up merdzimek chorbasy or turkish version of it (dunno how to spell it correctly but the name is same).

Love this soup! Usually swap the kale for spinach though.
capsicum
Tell me that you're from Oz without saying that you crack tins.
Serious now, I do something similar with chickpeas instead of beans. Plus some pork butt - it goes great with both kale and peppers!
Ok so I keep telling people if nothing else good comes from this shit year, 2025 was the year I learned to appreciate the value of a good home made soup. So, I am so excited to see this post!
I use vegetable better than bullion base, chop a big club of ginger in a food processor then add it to the base, add in 2-3 jalapenos, key lime juice, and Sriracha
While all that's simmering, I sautee red onion, broccoli, and shrimp, then add all that to the soup and let it simmer together for a while. Sometimes I'll add tofu. Usually eat that for a few days. It's awesome especially when you're sick.
Oooh, it’s been so long since I had mushroom soup. Thanks for the idea!
One of my favorites is Goulash.
Mushroom soup is definitely my favorite 🍄
Lazy tomato soup. Serves me (1)
Half a can of canned tomatoes (200g)
A red onion, diced

Your choice of protein (I loooooove chickpeas)
Add broth to desired thickness
Put everything in pot, simmer for 7-10 minutes and season to taste. Enjoy

I'm making ham and bean soup now. It's super simple - toss a ham hock and chopped ham into a slow cooker with 8C of chicken broth, add a finely chopped onion and a couple cloves of minced garlic, toss in a can of petite diced tomatoes, add a bag of 15 bean mix (soaked overnight), cook on low for 8-12 hours. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Squeeze in the juice from a lemon for brightness. Tastes best after resting for a night in the fridge.

Cream of mushroom soup is top tier along with pumpkin/squash soup, dill pickle soup, lentil, and lemon rice.
Hold up…dill pickle soup? That sounds delicious. Gonna have to try that
Dutch erwtensoep with rookworst.
Pumpkin soup, onion soup and of course, rice soup which I also named it poors soup, its only rice + leftovers in the fridge.
My regular rotation are:
- tomato bisque
- barley and lentil stew
- broccoli cheddar soup
- ministrone
- black beans (cuban style but vegetarian)
- carrot-ginger soup
- ramyun or ramen
- 5 bean chili
I enjoy but seldom cook a couple of indian soups: rasam and sambar.
Italian style chickpea or lentil soup is always great, you can make them almost the same too (just swap out the legumes)
A potato and beef soup known locally as "Slavic soup" (sopa eslava). Likely brought to my chunk of South America by Polish immigrants, and then adapted to local tastes.
might as well share the recipe
- 500g potatoes, preferably creamier ones, skin on
- some veg oil
- 150g of some soft beef cut, cut into thin strips
- a medium onion, peeled, diced small
- salt, black pepper, smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- milk cream to taste; I typically use homemade sour cream, but even half-and-half works fine
- Leave the potatoes boiling in some water.
- In the meantime, in a separated large pot, use the veg oil to brown the meat. High fire.
- When the meat is browned turn the fire to low, add the diced onion, and let it cook until transparent.
- When the potatoes finished boiling, peel and blend them with some of their cooking water (a cup of water is enough). Then transfer the blend to the pot with the meat and onion.
- Add salt, paprika, pepper, soy sauce, ketchup. Let it boil again, then turn off the fire.
- Add cream, mix it well, then add the parsley for garnish.
Notes:
- You could peel and dice the potatoes before boiling them, I guess. It's faster, but I feel like it loses some flavour.
- This recipe also works great if you sub the beef with sausages, bacon, or even button mushrooms.
- If you're vegan and/or lactose intolerant: it's fine to simply omit the milk cream.
Other soups I really enjoy are
- chicken, leeks, carrots, rice
- ramen of all types
- beet soup
- lovage soup
Split pea with ham hocks
Chickpea curry
Chicken lemon lentil
ChiliI am saving this post for the recipes...
Not too big on soup, but I think egg drop soup is great.
I was gifted a box of fancy dried mushrooms. I pressure cooked a few from each type with my regular beans. Its actually a great combination. Incredibly, mushrooms need more cooking time than beans.
Chicken 'n dumplings
Šaltibarščiai, or cold pink soup :3.. which is a popular dish where I live during summer
Województwo wileńskie! */me says it and runs really fast*
Jokes aside pink beet soup is awesome. Specially with boiled eggs + rye bread.
I have no favorite (beside the ones my grandma used to cook) as all soups can be amazing. I really don't think there is one I would not enjoy eating.
I made french onion soup yesterday. The house still smells like caramelized onions. I have leftovers, but I ran out of cheese and somebody threw away the rest of the stale baguette.
Seaweed soup with beef.
You got it. I make a huge batch and freeze it.
I'm not a massive soup fan, but I will sometimes have carrot soup. Every time I've made soup it's been shit what's your secret @blaze@sopuli.xyz
I just used a book ha ha 😄
cream of mushroom and seafood chowder are so delicious. also really like kale soup.
I haven’t yet. Do you fry the bacon then use the fat to sweat the leeks?
My wife's chicken ginger soup. Really comforting.
Turkey soup
I have a green chili stew recipe I love; one of my favorite foods.
- 2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 or 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp oregano
- 2 to 3 lbs red or gold potatoes, cut into small chunks
- 3 large cans chopped green chilies
- 5 to 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 to 4 tsp canned chopped jalapeños
- 1 ½ to 2 lbs pork loin, cut into small chunks
- 1 to 1 ½ tsp salt, to taste
- Sour cream
Heat the oil in a 2 quart saucepan, add the onion and garlic, and cook, covered, over low heat for about 5 minutes so that the onion can wilt.
Uncover the pan, raise the heat to medium, and stir in the cumin and pepper.
Stir for 2 or 3 minutes, or until the onions start to show signs of browning, then add the chicken broth, oregano, salt, green chilies, jalapeños, & pork. Add potatoes until pot is full.
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for at least 1 hour.
Remove from heat and let settle for 5 to 10 min.
Serve hot, add sour cream to servings per taste. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, tortilla chips, cracklins, etc.
