My favorite soup to eat and make is a corn chowder with chicken. I've re-named it tortilla soup. It's great with the lime tortilla chips on top.
It is a cream based soup with corn chicken potatoes butternut squash onions green peppers jalepeno chili powder cumin honey pickapepper and a few other ingredient's... very good soup..
I got it years ago from one of my favorite cookbooks, soup and breads or breads and soups a dairy hollow cookbook by Crescent Dragonwagon.. Wierd name I know. But anyway, Ive doubled the amount of ingredients for a chunkier and heartier soup.
Also loved the black bean soup we used to make at the Village. You need wine in it. Very yummy.
I love a good fish soup.
I love any good soup.
I also like to make a quick little potato soup with bacon, sausage and greens (mustard and turnip or spinach..) Need onion and some garlic. A favorite sausage to use is a fresh polish sausage, bratwurst if I can't find the polish. Unless you feel spicy Italian works. I also like to add cannellini beans to it.....
Just brown up the sausage really well and crispy bacon browned onions.. The mustard an turnip greens give it great flavor. I am a real sucker for greens... I love em.. The soup base is chicken...
