How often do you have homemade soup?

[Trufget]

Just curious. I am always thoroughly impressed with myself when I make soup instead of buying it. Feel like Martha Stewart especially if I have whacked the bread maker out.

Just curious how often people make soup? Growing up my parents literally never once made it.

Pretty much every week, I freeze it and take it in to work most days. Especially in winter. Always has beans and/lentils in it. Always make stock if we have a roast chicken.

its a quick weekend lunch too. Just bought a soup maker but haven’t really got the hang of it yet…but am cheered by the fact it also does frozen margaritas so isn’t a total waste of money….

I find soup inadequate as an evening meal. But do like homemade for lunch.

Don't make it often enough - my favourites are roasted red pepper & tomato, chestnut mushroom and a big stodgy pot of lentil & bacon which has to be so thick your spoon stands up in it.

Yesterday made lamb neck into yakhni (pakistani bone broth) for rice, the part not cooked in the rice is now soup with noodles, fridge raid veg.

My mum always made home made soup, so shop bought is always disappointing and I make my own.

Thank you. Looks delicious!

Often want to but never get round to it...lack skills

Once a week or so? Tend to make a back and then freeze for a quick weekday lunch.

Probably once a week.
The kids love it so it's an easy after school lunch.
Veg / leek & potato / tomato & red pepper are the most popular in this house.
If I'm feeling energetic, I'll make minestrone 😅

Our local veg shop has a chopped veg counter and have a 'soup mix' offer. So I can get a couple of scoops of pre-chopped veg & have homemade soup in no time 😋

About every other week - tends to be whenever we have nont managed to eat all the fresh veg in time and so it's turned into soup.

We tend to have "tomorrow is shopping day" soup ...
Take veg left in fridge, roast it, add stock, blitz it.

Two or three times a week in cooler weather. Never in warmer weather: big hearty 'everything' salads for lunch every day instead.

Every other week maybe weekly in winter and take it to work for lunch.
This is my favourite

Would like to try a carrot and coriander if anyone has a recommended recipe please

I make a big batch of the same one about every 2 weeks
My favourite and it's easy and quick

Once a month or whenever I have surplus vegetables. I'll always freeze a few portions too because there's nothing like being clueless as to what to cook on a week when you're really tired and then you open the freezer and find a home-cooked batch of soup. I also freeze curries and other meals for this reason. Even better if you're ill and can't be bothered to cook from scratch.

When it's cold one a week. Kids and I love it, husband refuses to eat soup for dinner so he sorts himself out

I'm planning to make more soup over the next few months, since I now have a nifty new blender thingy.

Up until now I make it when I've had roast chicken, or when there's been random veg left over that I like and others don't (celeriac, butternut squash for example) but it's too much of a faff to get the big blender out regularly.

I make a batch most weeks in winter, portion it up and freeze it, and send it to work in husbands lunch bag each day in a yeti flask, he gets cold on site and it helps warm him up a bit, just made leek potato and bacon for this week for him.

I go through phases with soup. Tinned, I o let like Heinz tomato and have never been able to make one that I like more. I do love homemade leek and potato soup though, and will sometimes make a batch weekly, then forget about it first a few months. Can't stand meat in soup though!

I personally wouldn't ever make it, but my husband makes it once a week for him and our son. We have a soup maker so it's a quick, cheap and easy meal. I'm not sure if he'll keep doing it in summer, but there's no real reason why not.

I make soup several times per week, as does my mum, as did my grandmother. It's a family obsession!

You only need a pan, a stick blender and a Delia Smith recipe, go for it.

Shop bought is just salty gloop.

4/5 days out of 7 I’ll have homemade dip for lunch.

Most days because I make loads for school lunches, my little boy is tube fed but has blended food rather than prescription milks. School won't blend meals for him so I make soup at the weekend for his school dinners.

Same here! I freeze it in portion-sized containers, so I can mix things up and use a portion from a previous week if I fancy a change. I love home-made soup. It's a world away from the stuff you get in a can.

Make and freeze once a fortnight. Eat twice a week in the winter.

Most weekdays in winter. I work from home and have lunch at home. I make a very simple lentil soup at the weekend and eat it throughout the week. This week I might make parsnip soup as my veg box has parsnips in.
