Love this soup! Usually swap the kale for spinach though.
capsicum
Tell me that you’re from Oz without saying that you crack tins.
Serious now, I do something similar with chickpeas instead of beans. Plus some pork butt - it goes great with both kale and peppers!
Potato stew! Potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, no blending or milk
All my fellow mushroom soup lovers should make some Hungarian mushroom soup sometime. So good.
My favorite soups that I occasionally make are duck pho, lobster bisque (it has been way too long since I’ve made this one, but it’s a lot of work), fish chowder, French onion soup, and Hungarian mushroom soup.
Sometimes I turn leftover rice into avgolemono, a delicious lemony Greek soup.
Do you happen to have a link to the Mushroom soup recipe you made or something similar?
Here’s one I really like. What I found makes it is that the mushrooms are fried first. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/235589/chef-johns-creamy-mushroom-soup/
Not for soups, but a tip for frying mushrooms and getting rid of the mushrooms texture that a lot of people hate is parboiling it in salt water for 3-5 minutes before going in a very hot pan.
Of if there is no time for that, salting it at the end of the cooking process helps it now reabsorb the moisture it sweats out!
Carrot Orange soup - hear me out, this is awesome. Coarse chop onions and sauté in a soup pot. Add a bunch of chopped carrots and cook with some veg stock. When tender use stick blender to make smooth and add orange juice, salt and pepper to taste. My wife makes this whenever someone is sick or has a surgery and feels weak. It is a magic soup!
Chicken soup and lentil soup. Especially lentil soup, I can’t recommend it enough. Look up merdzimek chorbasy or turkish version of it (dunno how to spell it correctly but the name is same).
Ok so I keep telling people if nothing else good comes from this shit year, 2025 was the year I learned to appreciate the value of a good home made soup. So, I am so excited to see this post!
I use vegetable better than bullion base, chop a big club of ginger in a food processor then add it to the base, add in 2-3 jalapenos, key lime juice, and Sriracha
While all that’s simmering, I sautee red onion, broccoli, and shrimp, then add all that to the soup and let it simmer together for a while. Sometimes I’ll add tofu. Usually eat that for a few days. It’s awesome especially when you’re sick.
I’m making ham and bean soup now. It’s super simple - toss a ham hock and chopped ham into a slow cooker with 8C of chicken broth, add a finely chopped onion and a couple cloves of minced garlic, toss in a can of petite diced tomatoes, add a bag of 15 bean mix (soaked overnight), cook on low for 8-12 hours. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Squeeze in the juice from a lemon for brightness. Tastes best after resting for a night in the fridge.
