Cream of asparagus
I love asparagus. Will have to try and make this soon. Great idea! Thank you! 
I have never tried making it from fresh.. I get the packet of powder mix
That’s okay! We got a few store bought cans of different kinds of soups and had them for a side dish a few days ago.😀👍🌈
Lovely if you can get fresh asparagus when it is offered cheaper in markets.
I would back this vote, though not right now; I think of this as being a spring soup, and not the thick, hearty stuff we need while in the grip of February.
Lentil fresh ginger and garlic
Sounds really good! When do you have it?
Instead of a full meat and two veg dinner ... Too filling as a starter!! as
When it's cold and I can't be bothered cooking a full meal
That’s fantastic to hear. I tend to have lentil soup with hummus dinner nights.😀👍🌈
Cream of Mushroom
This sounds great! Have you tried Broccoli and Cheese?
Broccoli and stilton is delicious especially with crumbled broccoli on top and served with warm crusty walnut bread
This sounds really fantastic! I will have to see if I can get some broccoli ordered for pick up for the soup. Great idea!😀👍🌈
As is leek and celery with stilton.
Sounds great!😀👍🌈
Tomato soup
Yes - “straight” tomato soup!
Do you have it with cheese sandwiches?😀👍🌈
No , i have mine with a bacon sandwich 😀
That sounds good for a sandwich/soup combination.😀👍🌈
Full on, my favourite cold afternoon-by-the-fire meal!
Oxtail, mushroom
Mushroom, oxtail
Cream of mushroom
Chicken and mushroom
This sounds really good! Do you have it with dinners or lunches?😀👍🌈
I actually have it as and when I like, a kind of fill-me-upper between meals. 😄
Even better! Enjoy!
Potato and leek
This sounds really delicious! When do you have it? 😀👍🌈
When it's very cold and I need warming within.
That’s great to hear!😀👍🌈
Anything homemade... Beef vegetable, Broccoli & cheese, French Lentil, Cheese Tortellini with broccoli and carrot soup, it's hard to choose just one
I picked a few and I can’t say which is my number one favorite, either!😀👍🌈
I have 3 favourites: tomato, lentil and carrot and corriander.
These sound good for dinner sides.😀👍🌈
Chicken and mushroom
Chicken is one of my favorite types of meat to have with soup.😀👍🌈
Chicken and mushroom
I have chicken soup when it’s near a holiday celebration.😀👍🌈
Bacon, Leeks, Chickpeas and Bacon with Chicken Broth and Cream.
What do you have with the soups?😀👍🌈
I should clarify. All those are the ingredients going into the soup. After one or two servings, I have no room for anything else - except for another glass of Malbec or Xinomavro.
Thank you for letting me know. That’s great.😀👍🌈
Butternut squash and anything. I sometimes add paprika to give it a kick.
I like butternut squash soup. 😀👍🌈
I put ginger in mine for an extra kick
Ginger sounds good to me!😀👍🌈
Home made potato soup.
That’s fantastic! I will have to see if the potatoes we have can be used for soup soon.😀👍🌈
Shred some carrots for color, add some caraway seeds and substitute some whipping cream instead of milk. Great for cold winter days. Don’t forget the crusty bread for sopping. Yum!❤️🏄♀️
Can gluten free bread be substituted? 😀👍🌈
Of course! ❤️🏄♀️
Fantastic! Thank you for letting me know that.😀👍🌈
Love my homemade mushroom soup and my homemade butternut squash and sweet potato soup.
Those are really good! We have them sometimes with lunch and dinner.😀👍🌈
Hot & Sour Chinese Soup
Are you going to have it this weekend? We had homemade Chinese food for dinner tonight because it’s Chinese New Year this weekend.😀👍🌈
Ooh, homemade Chinese food is impressive!
It’s very good!😀👍🌈
Oyster stew
Do you add crackers to the soup?😀👍🌈
Oyster crackers, of course; also a chopped up sweet pickle, or two if they're small, per my dad's addition years ago. Sounds weird, I know but cuts the richness.
Sounds good! Will have to see what can be done.😀👍🌈
Homemade leek and sweet potato. Much better than ordinary potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are one of my favorites for potatoes with a meal. Would like to get some sweet potatoes soon if possible.😀👍🌈
Yes and at least it counts as one of our five a day. 😃Unlike ordinary potatoes.
Yes, that's right and they are lower in carbs.. Sweet potatoes are 24 carbs. for one whole potato and a regular potato is 25 carbs..
Hi Leah
A great poll. I've chosen hearty vegetableand lentil with tomato. I also love cream of carrot and parsnip soup and cream of tomato. All my soups are homemade.😋😋
Love boiling up chicken carcass and adding garlic , herbs and loads of veg . Another almost free lunch . The best with crusty bread.
Glad you enjoy your soup. I love crusty bread and make spelt sourdough. I only have veg and pulses as I'm Vegan but glad you enjoy yours. 👍😊
I love spelt bread, though it's not always easy to get in the shops. Much easier on the digestion. Well done you for making it!
It's not easy and the only shop I've found it in is Waitrose. I started to make it as I have IBS and it was a game changer for me. Thank you, it's easy to make.
Those soups sound fantastic, Alicia! How many times a week do you have them?😀👍🌈
Well the cream of carrot and parsnip soup I'd have every day as I love it but I have it around once a week. The cream of tomato soup again about once a week and I need to make the veggie one. I've printed off a recipe for a broccoli soup and can't wait to try it.😋😋
Please let us know what you think of the broccoli soup after trying it and take a picture.
Of course I will Leah👍👍🌈
Fantastic! Can't wait to see it soon!
Butternut Squash and Chicken Soup especially on a cold, rainy day!
That’s the best day to have soup!😀👍🌈
Tomato or Carrot and Coriander. Preferably homemade!
Sounds really good! What do you have with the soups?😀👍🌈
Scots Broth
What do you eat with the Scots Broth?😀👍🌈
Sounds like your soup would have a historical story behind it. If so, I would love to hear it...❤️🏄♀️
🍅 soup
Do you have cheese sandwiches with the tomato soup?😀👍🌈
Mary Berry’s ‘Cauliflower soup’
I like cauliflower for soup and other items for a meal.😀👍🌈
Watercress.
What do you have in the soup?😀👍🌈
Do you mean the ingredients?
Yes. Sorry about the confusion.
It's not a problem. It's just onions, potatoes and watercress with either water or chicken stock with seasoning. It's delicious and my favourite.
Sounds really good! Enjoy!😀👍🌈
Minestrone...home made.
What do you put in the soup?😀👍🌈
Vegetables diced softened in olive oil. Tinned tomatoes and beans,pesto tomato paste stock cubes and herbs.Normally garlic too but my wife has an allergy to that.
Sorry to hear about the allergy to garlic for your wife. Does she cook some of the soups?
Scotch broth
What do you have with your broth? 😀👍🌈
Some lovely fresh thick slices of bread
Sounds good! Enjoy!
Slice of whole grain bread with butter on it, sometimes we have it toasted. The broth is full of dried grains and pulses, with all the veg and stock from the meat so it is very filling you need very little else. We make and freeze the soup on Boxing Day or Day after. It lasts through the winter. Carrot, Potato, Parsnips, Sweet Potato, Swede, and whatever we have left after Christmas, including the Turkey Stock. We stew the bones to get more stock.
Sometimes we make just a thick veg soup, with stock all made at home. We freeze that and store it as well. Both soups thicken when stored. Sometimes we use a Scots broth dried mix or we mix them out. We cook up a Ham or Bacon Joint to get the stock and some meat, the same applies, most of it ends in the Freezer
BOB
That sounds really delicious for both types of soups. It's also good to have the bread on the side, too.
Yes we dunk the bread in the soup to soak up the stock. and eat the veg It was a soup made by the crofters as a meal when crops were depleted
They used the remnants and sometimes even the skins. Lamb stock sometimes was used and Hof; Stock from the lower legs and foot or so I understand ?
BOB
Sweet potato and leek , spicy parsnip and apple, bacon and lentil. All home made.
Sounds good! When do you have them?😀👍🌈
Usually lunchtime , sometimes with crusty bread, sometimes with ryvita.
What is ryvita?
It's a rye crispbread
Mulligatawny
What is in the soup? 😀👍🌈
I’m not sure of the exact ingredients, but it’s a curry based soup. Spicy and warming, I have it with a crusty roll and some butter.
No worries! It's good to hear it's a curry-like soup/sauce. I like curry for some of my meals.
Cheddar and broccoli soup, beer cheese soup & potato and leek soup.
Are they homemade?😀👍🌈
Homemade is always definitely better 👍
Very healthy!😀👍🌈
Plain chicken or chicken and vegetables.
Sounds great! What do you have with the soups?😀👍🌈
Sometimes left over chicken with rice, makes a nice meal with a tin of chicken soup plus vegetables.
Yes, that's another great idea!
Lentil & Bacon
That’s great! What do you have with the soup?😀👍🌈
Activity2004Hermes123. My favourite soup is Mulligatawny nice and warming.
What do you have in the soup?😀👍🌈
Cheddar cheese and broccoli
That’s one of my favorite soups.😀👍🌈
I love berkoukes ☺️❤️
What is in berkoukes, Hiba? 😀👍🌈
It has les petits plombs veggies and beef
Thank you for letting me know! It sounds really good! 😀👍🌈
It is super yummy 😋 its my favorite Algerian soup ❤️☺️ brings me memories of when i went to Algeria to see my relatives ☺️
That’s fantastic to hear! Do you have any leftovers for another day? 😀👍🌈
I think we finished it 😄 But there might be some more 😄
Do you have any pictures of it?😀👍🌈
I don’t unfortunately but i can send you a image of it on google ☺️
When you’re going to have it again, you can always post a picture on here or on a posting.😀👍🌈
Here’s a photo ❤️
It’s not showing up.
Thanks for telling me
No worries! It isn’t the first time that the pictures didn’t show up. Hidden and springcross had the same issue when posting pictures for a poll. Would you like to try posting it as a posting?😀👍🌈
Yes ☺️
Posted ☺️
Is it showing up now ?
Tomato
Cream of Tomato
Sounds great! Do you have a sandwich with it?😀👍🌈
French onion with pecorino cheese or Baxters tomato ginger and orange.
These sound really great! How many times a week do you have them?😀👍🌈
I tend to make 'My Own' soups and have a Fair Range. Chicken & Vegetable, Watercress & Leak (or onion, if no leaks available), Leak & Potato, Mushroom (sometimes with 'other' things to) or Tomato. I have also 'Experimented' with Chowder, and had some success. Golden vegetable, which has more 'Root' vegetables than 'Hearty', is also a Good one.
Then there are the 'Whatever I Had In The Fridge' soups, some 'interesting' combinations there...... most, quite good😀, a few erm 😖- or even 😬....🤢 (in the extreme!)
One 'Tip'.... be careful 'how much, Chilli you put in 🥵- a Good way, to tell, If you can Actually Hear the bowl dissolving......!
AndrewT
French onion
Sounds great! Haven’t had French Onion for a long time. May have to see if I can get some onions soon. 😀👍🌈
I have chicken and gluten free matzoh ball soup for certain holidays when it’s possible to get the gluten free mix. Really good!😀👍🌈
Tattie n leek
What is tattie? 😀👍🌈
Oh it's potato I'm Scottish mind the accent😋
That’s great to hear! Thank you!😀👍🌈
Chicken noodle or chicken tortilla soup.
They both sound really good! I will have to see if I have any tortilla chips for the soup.😀👍🌈
Yes chicken tortilla soup is good and spicy. With a little cheese and tortilla chips on top. My niece likes it with sour cream.
That’s a great idea. Thank you for letting me know.😀👍🌈
I have not had soup for years, as shown by recently finding numerous 'cup a soup' bags having to be thrown away, past their sell by dates🤮🤮
Does the items have use by date on them?😀👍🌈
I had moved house, my sisters had put them in the back of one of my cupboards, you know the sort, boiling water, powder from a bag, quick but insipid, [but very easy to lose in a cupboard which I did not use for at least ten years?] I have been in the house for eighteen years, a bits and pieces cupboard? Did not check for use by date? Health and Safety! Health and Safety!🙄🙄👍
It's okay! Health and safety is something to be careful about always. It's not easy when others put things away for you since you don't know when/where they came from and if they are okay to be used.
Its like a certain sister, whom you have not seen for years, washes and dries your dishes, especially your cutlery, then you find some weeks later, "What are they doing there??" That sort of thing?🙃🙄🙄👍
That’s great! I have chicken and gluten free noodles to do soup together.😀👍🌈
That’s right! I will have to see if the gluten free matzah ball mix will be at the store near my house for order and pick up.😀👍🌈
Thank you! I will have to order it for Passover.😀👍🌈
Cream of tomato and basil
That's very good and I had that type once a while ago. Need to see if I have any left for another day.
Chicken Noodle, it cures everything when you are sick! Tastes great as well!
It definitely does help when sick.
I like cream of tomato and cream of chicken, any with veg in I have to puree before I can eat, I do tend to stick a handful of fine egg noodles in the cream of chicken. My favourite ever I had in Fiji, it was a dahl soup, completely pureed and slightly spicy. Heaven with freshly baked white rolls.
That sounds like a fantastic combination of soup and rolls/bread. Do you have it/them once or more times a week?
In this weather, and if I am a bit shaky and unwell I eat soup a lot, as a pureed meal, that does not take too much time or effort.
Sounds like a great idea— especially if you’re not feeling well.😀👍🌈
Scotch Broth
That's good to hear. Do you have anything on the side? How many times a week do you have it?
I have this or potato & leek mainly when I have a ibs flare up as I find the easier on my stomach or when I am in the mood for a snack during the day.
That's a great idea!
Tomato
Do you have a grilled cheese sandwich on the side with the soup?
Mushroom
Yummy! I had mushroom soup recently, but it was pureed even though I didn't think it was supposed to be that way. It was in a big carton and it never said anything about being pureed.
Since Meningitis & a Stroke, 14 years ago, I can't swallow & now a have a P.E.G.!
Home made chicken
What else do you add to the chicken soup?
Celery soup
That sounds really good! I was hoping to get some celery, but my mom isn't a big fan of celery. Will have to try and get a soup sometime after the virus gets better under control and get some at a restaurant in the next few months. Thanks!
We make most of own soups, usually from leftovers. We have bottom of the fridge soup, using up whatever is left before veg delivery day. If we have roast chicken, we turn the frame and leftovers into a warm spicy chicken and noodle soup.
That sounds really wonderful to have for a dinner. I love using leftovers for different meal ideas.
I make my own soup, it helps pass the time and is delicious and nourishing.
What flavor of homemade soup do you cook?
I tend to use whatever vegetables I have around. Vegetable and lentil or pearl barley, leek and potato, carrot and coriander, parsnip and ginger, tomato, broccoli and cheddar.
That's great!
I love soups, and make soups out off just about anything. But my favourite is chicken soup. Cures everything. At least that is what my mother used to say.
I try to have salad and soup together whenever it's possible. Same with a sandwich when it's cooler temps..
Smoked haddock or clam chowder
What do you have with both types of soup?
Home made gluten free croutons. The soup has veg and potato, and is quite substantial, so you don't need much else.
That's fantastic to hear! I usually make my own homemade gluten free croutons using gluten free bread when there's time.
I think there is a gap in the market for GF croutons. Flavoured ones would be great.
That’s great! I saw other things, but I need to see if I can get them soon.😀👍🌈
I made vegetable borscht last night as 'bottom of the fridge' soup before this morning's veg box delivery.
Spicy pumpkin great winter warmer for me 🔥
That sounds great! I like pumpkin soup and pumpkin seeds.
I love home made butternut squash, with red peppers and onions. Cooked in the slow cooker overnight.
Butternut squash soup is really good. I have to get more in the next few weeks.
My favourite soup is Italian tomato with basil soup. It’s so tasty. I also love a Thai vegetable soup as it has sweet potato, coriander and noodles in it.
Are the noodles made with rice?
Yes rice noodles. Thai people and rice go together like hand in glove.
Good to hear! Thank you for letting me know.
I only have tomato soup and I have to be unwell for this or freezing cold, I then grate some cheese into it and although I am 55 years of age I make toast soldiers so I can dip them into it. this cheers me up
I like the idea of toast soldiers for soup. I will suggest it to my mom for when we have my Nephew and Niece here for the day next week when we have soup. That's a great idea for a Thursday cooking class.
Seeing the Lentil & Tomato soup on the list, reminded me I haven’t made it for some years. I have the tinned tomatoes, red onions, and red lentils in stock so might be making that in the next few weeks. The soups I make most often in the winter, are fresh mushroom soup with a touch of single cream. 2nd winter soup = sweet potato/ butternut & red pepper, (the butternut/ sweet potato comes in a packet all ready peeled & chopped into small cubes ) this soup also contains soft light cheese added towards the end before serving.
All that sounds really delicious and something to do in a few days from now for part of a dinner idea.
Lentil and Chilie soup.
Do you have anything on the side with lentil soup? I have hummus and a salad with gluten free crackers on the side when I have lentil soup.
I have home made Whole Meal Bread with Butter spread on it.
That sounds good! One or two pieces of bread?
One big hunk and butter to hand.
That sounds good!😀👍🌈
Chicken noodle, after stripping and boiling the carcass. This is what cures everything, not something out of a tin! 😘 xx
Sounds fantastic to me! I love chicken for a soup or even on the side with another type of soup. Really good!
I'm not the biggest soup lover, but occasionally I enjoy curried pumpkin soup, cheese and cauliflower/broccoli, French onion and what Rachel Ray (the TV chef) used to call a stewp which is almost a stew. If it's a thinner soup with no 'bits' of its own, then I must have some croutons in it too!
Wow! This sounds fantastic and gives me some ideas, too! We haven't had a soup in a while that was like a stew, so I will have to see when that can be done. Great idea!
All of the above! But anything chicken best of all - Baxter's especially!
I love chicken anything as long as there's a way to substitute sometimes, if necessary.
Chicken broth scotch broth
Heinz Tomato Soup
Do you have a cheese sandwich with it?
Heinz Tomato Soup
Never heard of it, but it sounds wonderful!
Can you please let me know what you haven't heard of before?
I love my Potato and Leek Soup, Chunky.
That's fantastic! Do you have it more than once a week?
In my next shop I'm going to buy it as it has been a while since I last had it. I didn't know how much I missed it until I saw your survey.
That sounds good! Thank you for letting me know that. Enjoy!😀👍🌈
All of those soups sound really good! Do you have anything on the side with them?
Thanks for saying that about the poll. The next one scheduled is going to be dealing with DIY Craft Projects.
That's a great idea. I will have to see if I have any chickpeas around here or use some gluten free bread to make croutons.
I enjoy Amy's Organic Lentil Vegetable Soup and would love to try the Roasted Cauliflower with Red P:epper.Leslie
We have that type of soup sometimes since it’s gluten free.😀👍🌈
Chicken vegetable soup with rice .😇
I have that sometimes, too.😀👍🌈
Chicken with rice
I do that sometimes when we can get chicken. I use rice and other items for soups if I don't feel well-- or want a change/substitute for certain items.
Yes, I like bacon or smoked salmon and am addicted to peanut butter and banana on brown!
I like all those things, but because of the potassium, I can't have bananas. Everything else I can have for peanut butter and gluten free bread sandwiches.
My home made Leek and Potato. Thick and warming and only 30 minutes to make. Yummy
How many times a week do you have it?
Leek and potato soup
What do you have with the soup?
Home made soup with rice in it to thicken,really filling if your watching the pennies.
Homemade soup is a fantastic idea when we can’t go out.😀👍🌈
I cook everything from scratch I have to as I’m gluten and lactose intolerant but I prefer home cooked old fashioned meals but then I have the bad stuff after lol
I have a gluten/wheat intolerance and have been gluten free for almost 6 years now.😀👍🌈
Well done it’s a battle worth fighting.x
Thank you!😀👍🌈
Chicken noodle!
That’s great!😀👍🌈 What do you have with your soup?
The soup I only do once a week because over lockdown I have started making a better variety of food. I now love Stir Frye and I try to do a new dish a couple of times a month. Also, now we are in winter I like to try warming old fashioned standbys like Casseroles and pies. Not many potatoes nowadays.
