I usually get bored of making the same soup but two I never tire of are

Tomato and red lentil (sweat tomatoes in pan with olive oil, garlic, seasoning, mixed herbs, splash red wine vinegar. The add tinned tomatoes, red lentils and simmer. Cook really quickly. Part blend as I like texture)

Squash, sweet potato, coconut and lentil

Today we had curried butternut squash soup.

Fry 1 chopped onion in butter. Add cubed butternut and a cubed potato (I used half as the other half is going in the macaroni cheese tonight). Add a couple of teaspoons of curry powder. 1.5 litres of veg stock. Pressure cook for 20 minutes. Add a bit of Philadelphia. Blitz. Add lots of black pepper.

@LoLoliLouToo that sounds so delicious! I'm going to try that :D

I usually make Turkish lentil soup but yours sounds equally good!

@Frenchfancy that's a nice combination!

Do you normally have with bread rolls?

Will be trying that next week :D

I make a 5 litres of veg soup which lasts us all week. It's so thick you don't need bread with it. Sautée in 50g butter 2 onions, 4 carrots, one butternut, 3 leeks, 50g of lentils. 5 chicken stock cubes, dill pan with cold water, bring to boil, simmer for at least an hour then blitz.

Roasted celeriac, yum! Roast celeriac, chopped onion, some celery, garlic, turmeric & stock.

Also curried butternut squash.

Frenchfancy · 01/11/2022 19:10

We tend to have bread and butter. We make our own bread so it was fresh!

Snugglemonkey · 01/11/2022 19:33

My favourite soup is always potato and leek. I just soften 2 sliced leeks in a little butter, add two diced potatoes, cover in water and simmer. Add a cup of homemade stock, salt and pepper and blitz smooth.

Or butternut squash, butter bean and chorizo. Just dry fry the chorizo until the oil starts to release, remove and set aside, add a few crushed garlic cloves, a diced squash, a cup of stock and simmer until the squash softens. Blitz, add the drained tin of beans and the chorizo back in. Sprinkle a wee bit of smoked paprika on the top.

I love soup! In this weather I like to have it at least once a week for dinner and several lunches.

Love this soup!

Smokey black bean and chorizo soup

Ingredients;
2tsp olive oil
1 red onion (finely chopped)
3 sticks of celery (finely chopped)
115g Chorizo sausage
3 garlic cloves (crushed)
½ tsp chilli flakes
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 cans of black beans in water
1 can of chopped tinned tomatoes
1 chicken stock cube – to make 750ml of stock
2 tsp Lime Juice
1/2 avocado (chopped)
1 red chilli (finely sliced)

Instructions;
1; Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion and celery, stirring for 5 mins or until softened. Add the chorizo, garlic, chilli flakes and paprika and cook, stirring occasionally for 3 mins until the chorizo is golden.

2;Add the beans, tomatoes and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, partially cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

3;Transfer half the soup to a blender or food processor, and blitz until smooth. Return to the pan and reheat over a medium-low heat until hot. Stir through the lime juice and season to taste. (I don’t bother with this, just use stick blender in the pan until it’s the consistency that I want.)

4;Ladle into bowls and serve topped with the avocado and chilli.

This beetroot, apple and horseradish I could live off it!

SBAM · 01/11/2022 21:23

I love the sweet potato and chorizo soup in one of Jamie Oliver’s books. Possibly ministry of food?

Basically onion, carrot, sweet potato, chorizo, garlic, curry powder and stock.

RowRowRowYourBoat1 · 01/11/2022 21:41

This is so easy and delicious. I’m not usually a fan of carrot soup but it’s lovely and the kids loved it. This tomato soup is also fabulous and easy. You just have to leave it to simmer for a while. Makes a huge pot.

mondaytosunday · 01/11/2022 21:51

The bbc good good recipe for pumpkin soup is my current fave. It makes a very thick and filling soup. I've added extra spices.

Two chopped onions (or one packet ready chopped)
1kg cooking pumpkin (could use squash) peeled and chopped into chunks
700ml chicken or veg stock
1 heaping tsp ground cumin
1 heaping tsp ground coriander
1 heaping tsp hot/smoked paprika
150ml double cream
Salt and pepper
Oil

Bread for croutons (sourdough, ciabatta whatever)
Butter
Paprika
2 tbsp Pumpkin seeds

Cook onions in oil til softened, add pumpkin, cook for ten minutes. Add stock and spices and cook until pumpkin is soft. Add double cream, bring back to boil and blend with hand blender.
For croutons put cubed bread and pumpkin seeds in melted butter and sprinkle paprika over. Cook til crispy.

Enjoy!

What a lovely thread!
I have 3 favourites - the curried squash and roast tomato have already been covered, but I also love this creamy chicken soup in a rich velvety sauce. Beautiful. Its a work of love but very very worth it.

Chicken soup with leeks and apples. Make from scratch with fresh chicken or with good quality chicken stock. Add a goodly amount of apple juice and a dash or two each of calvados and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt, pepper and some cream.

Tinkletinkletree · 01/11/2022 22:12

Squash and tomato
Blackbean soup
Fire broth noodle soup
Corn chowder - I like Silvana Franco's recipe but can't find it at the moment.
Tortelli in brodo which can be as lazy as fresh tortellini cooked in ready made stock topped with plenty of parmesan, black pepper and parsley.

RaininginDarling · 01/11/2022 22:50

Ooh so many soups yo try! Loving this thread!

My favourite soup to make is carrot and orange.

Soften diced onions with garlic and red chilli, add steamed carrots plus the water they've been steamed over, add veggie stock cube, ginger, the pulp & juice of two oranges, szzzsh it up with a hand blender, add some honey, serve with creme fraiche & coriander. Always brightens a dreary day, I swear by it when under the weather.

Oh I had to come back and recommend this. By Marlena Speiler. I found her book in a charity shop. It's about 25 years old and is really just like an Ottolenghu book before he was famous!

I don't usually make the kbaidlach.

Jewish chicken soup - just delicious!

Sadly, I can't access that @LoliLouToo - it's a subscription link - but I am hoping to find a classic Jewish chicken soup recipe.
