SOUP

This could be the most exciting thread ever.

Peoples attitude to soup bugs me. There is nothing better than a good vegetable or minestrone soup - simple but delicious. In fact I love all the classics and they are often the highlight of a restaurant visit.

But just recently I've noticed a trend for restaurants to serve ridiculous soups, just to be different. Last night I was out with the missus and the soup of the day was orange and cabbage. It tasted as bad as it sounds.

I'm thinking of starting a SAVE OUR SOUP campaign.

What is your favourite soup?

hmmm, not a big soup fan but the only one i love is Broccoli.

i share your pain. it bugs me too.

Never had orange and cabbage. It doesn't sound very palatable. Leek and Potato and Tomato soup are my favourites. I also like hot and sour soup if I have a Chinese.

Soup is something i have most days, But my fav has got to be.

Pea and Ham Soup.

I have never found any soup in the supermarket that tastes remotely like the soup they serve in restaurants or pubs.

Can anyone recommend a tinned soup?

absolutely enjoy Tomato soup



Also like chicken soup, cream of cauliflower soup and the dutch ertwe..... soup (basically pea and ham).



Tend to make my own cream of cauliflower soup, nowadays, after I followed a receipe a friend gave me, and its absolutely gorgeous :-)

The waitrose soups in the tubs are real good. Other than that, no.

I do try to cook from fresh as it is more healthier than from a tin or pre-packed meals. Plus I do like cooking for some reason, although i am definitely no masterchef

quite good, to be fair, going to gym at least 5 days a week and spending over 2 hoursat a time, weights, sit ups, crouches, cross trainer etc etc. definitely redefinig the fat into muscle. Weekends don't help, though, as out most Friday evenings until about 3am and end up with a Turkish pizza or shoarma and same on Saturdays for the footie and then after-parties. But stay in on Sundays nowadays, with the girlriend and thats when we prapre the food for the week ahead - true teamwork:D

Borscht - (Beetroot soup).

Don't pull faces until you've tried it - it's lovely.

Yep, just need my business to start bring the money in, otherwise I will need to look for another job. But apart from that all is good in the Barnes-Ewing household.

Good for you Chris - you deserve a bit of happiness for a change.

Because its normal everyday life and where did that ultimately begin - primordial soup!!
