You won't like mine because you're alllllllllll the way over on the sweet spectrum and I'm allllllll the way over on sour. But Greek chicken and lemon soup is the best soup in the world. Avgolemono.

I must try this. Have just looked up the recipe. I like the sound of the Tuscan bean soup too but I’m not a lover of tomato based dishes.I’m really enjoying looking at all the soups and definitely earmarking some to batch cook but first I need to find space in my freezer.

My favourite one that I've made so far is carrot with lentils and cardamom.
Closely followed by French onion.
It can be tricky getting the texture right with soups - would love good mushroom one.

French onion with cheesy bread slice.

Love this. I cook it slowly in the oven and always add some cognac.

Warm, spicy, comforting in winter. 😊

Just made a big saucepan this morning. We’ve eaten half of it already. It was meant to last the week. If it lasts till the day will be a miracle!

I know.that feeling.

Caribbean chicken soup using both cock and pumpkin soup seasoning ... Yummy!

Watercress soup ! 2 ingredients plus s and p . The other ingredient is a big blob of double cream . Simmer the large amount of water cress until soft. Add s and p then blend until smooth . Add double cream before serving . Very healthy too .

Scotch broth.😋

I love scotch broth the way my grandmother made it...so thick you could tap dance on it! 😁 A bowl of her SB was a meal in itself.

Reminds me of my Grandmother’s pigs trotter soup. Sound grim but it was delicious.

That would be a great addition to my low carb diet which is starting to become a little repetitive.

Oh do let us know how it turns out. Looks right up my street.

It was good. A bit thinner than I normally make, so another time I would use less water. It also took a lot longer to get the carrots soft than the recipe indicated which was probably because I hadn't diced them fine enough. I added a couple of bayleaves because I always put bay into lentil soup. The lemon juice added in the bowl on serving makes an enormous difference to the flavour (I do this with butternut squash soup as well). I did the olive oil drizzle thing, which was pretty, but I don't have Aleppo pepper so used a little paprika instead. I had splashed out on a jar of the Turkish pepper paste mentioned as optional. Would recommend.

My favourite soup of all is classic chicken broth with finely chopped celery/carrots/leeks plus lentils and pearl barley. Would make it into my top ten meals and I always make it if we've had a roast chicken.

Choux · 05/02/2026 22:40

A soupy lentil dhal with a drizzle of tamarind is my current favourite.

BambinaCucina · 05/02/2026 22:54

My favourites with recipes are:
Scotch broth,
Lentil,
Minestrone,
Butterbean & chorizo,
Chicken noodle

My other favourite has pearl barley, yellow split peas, lentils, chicken, bacon, peppers. A little bit of everything. Delicious. I just chuck handfuls of each into the pot and it's good to go 😋 I'd never admit it to them but it's what an exes mum used to make and it was the nicest thing about them.

Love Greek chicken soup @MrsTerryPratchett whenever I’m getting ill I always make this soup, nothing like a whole boiled chicken. My recipe is from a very old Greek cook book, passed down to me, the chewed top of the book cover was from my budgie when I was 6, I’m 60 now!
