What are your top three soups please?

[MaggieW]

I need soupy inspiration. I've just made Lentil and bacon for lunch. Love Pea and mint, chicken and vegetable etc but need some ideas. Maybe something with butternut squash as I have one in the fridge? What are your top three favourites to make please?

Nothing inspirational, but my top three are
1 red lentil and chickpea
2, chicken and thyme
3 French onion

French onion
Roast BNS and garlic
Tomato and basil

I love soup and make a big pan at least once a week.

Tomato
a curry one my friend's mum makes
French onion

avolegmo (greek chicken rice and lemon soup)

pumpkin or sweetpotato soup this is lovely but dont waste your time grating the sweet potato

french onion

Corn/ sweet potato chowder with smoked fish if it's there. Lots of fresh herbs and lime/lemon juice when you serve.

Daal with any leftover veg. Again, any fresh herbs/lime AND chili

Tomato soup

Kale and chorizo
Tomato and lentil
Chicken with root veg and broth.mix

This is a great one for Butternut Squash
This is the other top favourite in our house- I use a tin of tomatoes instead of the fresh ones and use half the amount of spinach http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pork-recipes/scrumptious-spanish-chickpea-and-chorizo-soup Chorizo and Chick Pea soup

carrot and lentil with cumin and coriander. It's dead easy and tasty even if it is a bit bog standard.

Broccoli and Stilton
Leek and potato
Lentil and bacon

My favourite is a covent garden soup called spinach & nutmeg. Soooo tasty!

Sorry Chorizo Soup

Tomato, chickpea and chorizo

Nigella's Pea and garlic

1. Polish veg (soup vegan, red lentil, tin chopped tomatoes, polish stock)
2. Sweet potato & carrot,(onion, korma paste, coconut milk)
3. Chilli sweetcorn noodle (sweetcorn, onion, chlli flakes, potato & noodles)

1. Brown lentil, lemon and kale.
2. Red lentil/daal
3. WIC/WIF (whats in cupboard, whats in fridge, which is a city variation of my SM's famous WIG/WIF - whats in garden, whats in fridge). This usually ends up being noodles/broth/veg

Chicken mulligatawny (Madhur Jaffrey's version)
Chicken noodle Thai broth
Spicy butternut squash

Leek and potato:
Simmer potatoes and leeks in just enough water and some butter, then blend with some stock. The potato makes it lovely and thick.

Spicy chicken noodle:
Shred some roast chicken and simmer in lots of water with tinned sweetcorn, shredded dark cabbage/leek, finely chopped chilli. At the last minute put rice noodles in.

Sweet potato and roast vegetable:
Roast chunks of sweet potato, red pepper and red onion in the oven with a splash of oil. Blend when done.

Thanks for this thread, haven't done soup for ages (DCs don't like it :() but am in the mood now so will add ingredients to next shopping list for warming lunches when the fussy monkeys DCs are at school! :)
