Minestrone soup for me. Occasionally I will use minestrone soup as a pasta sauce…mmmm…making myself hungry. I am also a fan of tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. 😃 ---

A homemade cream of mushroom (with a little walnut pureéd in to the base) is one of my favorites. I like a well-made French Onion (with a hint of sherry) as a late night snack–which is a French tradition. There was a sandwich shop near where I used to work that made the best Tomato Bisque I’ve ever had. ---

Homemade gazpacho. Use extra tobasco and garlic. I eat it all summer when it is too damned hot to think of heating the stove. Enchilada soup is my favorite during the winter. ---

My personal faves: Cream of Chicken Cream of Broccoli Cream of Mushroom Chicken Noodle Chicken Vegetable Tomato Boston Clam Chowder (does anyone actually like Manhattan Clam Chowder? Not that I’ve ever had any…it just doesn’t look apetizing.) ---

Hot and Sour (at my favorite Chinese restaurant). Wonton (same place). My homemade vegetable beef. My homemade chicken and dumplings. Chicken Italiano (at a Souper Salad restaurant). Chili is good too! Do pinto beans count with lots of juice? ---

I’ve got 3: Wonton(sp?) Soup: love this soup, have it every time I get Chinese food. Baked Onion Soup: Also a great soup, though it’s not as consistent (ie. some places make really good Baked Onion Soup, and others make really crappy B.O. Soup) New England Clam Cowder: I think that’s what it’s generally called. The white clam chowder, also a great soup. I have it at home and at restaurants. Though, it also is better at some places. ---

New England Clam Chowder Depending on how it’s made, potato and mushroom soups make the list too. There’s one place I’ve been to where the Wild Mushroom soup is to die for. ---
