Seems we have two different reply boxes.
Can't wait to try the different recipes! Yes, cofty -- the meal can wait; often, the soup is enough.
Thanks again.

So today is cold and rainy here in the UK. I made some soup today. Leek and potato with a twist.
4 potatoes
4 leeks
2 onions
lots of cloves of garlic
6 boneless skinless chcken thighs.
Boil water in a pan, chop the potaotes and add to pan when water has come to the boil. Chop the leeks, oinons and garlic set to one side. When potatoes are soft add leeks to pan. In a new pan fry off onions in a little bit of olive oil, add thighs, gently brown on a low heat. When chicken is browned off add garlic. I like my garlic strong, but you can add garlic earlier but be careful it doesn't burn!!! Yuck burnt garlic ruins any dish!!!. Once the onions garlic and chicken are soft and golden add to leeks and potato, add chicken stock or gravy granuels, leave to simmer for ages until meat is soft and soup is thick. Yum Yum!!! Anyone for soup?

The contest was for she crab soup
confusion plagued the judging group
each bowl was so intensely fine
they couldn't make up their own mind
one added sherry for some zest
two judges felt it was the best
another bowl was full of crab
the judges said that wasn't bad
The crowd was waiting to dig in
wondering who was soon to win
the hours passed the judges ate
it seemed like it was getting late
the winner they could never pick
and all the judges went home sick

I don't cook but soup sounds so good right now. Chicken noodle, asian style is great. Greek egg lemon, lentil, yummy!!!

I made the recipe below replacing the Cornish Game Hens with chicken breasts. It was very tasty, if not as colourful as I hoped. I blended the leftover stew and it made a wonderful soup that froze well. I am finishing the last of it now.
I garnished the soup with a dollop of greek yogurt.
I am NOT a soup person, so this had to be just right to win me over.

My favorites to make are vegetable-beef and potato with rivvels(tiny dumplings), and beef stew. Sometimes we substitute venison for beef and it's just as good. Cream of broccoli with cheese is great homemade, and simple. I make great chili and it freezes well, too.
Soups with clear broth or tomato juice bases are better to freeze - soups with milk or cream bases separate when frozen and are edible, but not as good as fresh.
I concur - the only good clam chowder is the New England kind! I only once picked up Manhattan-style by mistake - what are these tomatoes doing in my clam soup!!!
bon appetite!

For about 18 years I laboriously made my own chicken soup from scratch.
However, when my son turned 15 he got a can of cambells chicken noodle soup and said he preferred it!!!!!
So, I must have been making my own soup wrong? or he has no good tastebuds.
That comment kind of killed my desire to always make soup from scratch, though I still make various ones. My traditional northern Italian pastina ( star) broth soup is still favored and the older kids miss it now that they are grown and gone. The smell of that broth is the house is delightful.
quickly craise beef short ribs, chicken pieces, ( this gets strained so whatever you have is fine but I do make sure to get the bone in with marrow)
the water to cover, add a few whole carrots, whole celery stalks , an onion studdend with about 6 or more cloves, some salt, some canned whole tomatoes ( I used half a can) a tablepoon of tomatoe paste ( I usually make due with whatever tomatoe arrangement I have and it is fine) cook all day. strain and remove fat from top. It's easier when chilled but I generally just skim it with a ladle. Then add whole egg pastina or really any pasta like Cappelletti (This was also homemade as a family around a table assembling and filling these " little hats" and letting them dry) or Pasate ( I can't find that one for the spelling but it is similar to
