We had a mug of Baxter’s cream of tomato soup with our salad roll at lunch. It was delicious. Open the can, heat & serve. And no need to be eating the same soup for days on end …
😁

Same here, and we have different likes and dislikes so can never eat the same soup anyway.
My current faves are M&S red lentil soup and pea and ham.
DP will only eat Heinz tomato and basil and any pea and ham.
A bowl of hot soup with a cheese and salad roll or a bacon roll is delicious in Winter.

Got that wrong above, meant to say DP only likes tomato and basil and any veg soup.

Love soups and have just made curried parsnip soup,cauliflower cheese soup and chicken flu soup.
Popped some portions in the freezer in both single person portions and 2 x person portions for grab and go for microwave use.

I forgot the Root Soup I used to make, especially when we had guests staying over Christmas - one of the few blended soups I’ve ever made. Plenty of sweated onion, chunks of potato, carrot and swede, stock cubes, parsley - minimal water, so it’d be nice and thick - and then milk and a little butter before wielding the stick blender in the pan.
Always went down very well for lunch.

I love soup. My favourite to make is Potato and Leek but we had some mushrooms to use up so cooked those with an onion and a potato with some vegetable stock, yummy. My oH doesn't particularly enjoy soup so more for me.

I regularly make ,
Tomato, Pea & Mint, Marigold. Leek & Potato , Cream of Celery.

Turkey stock has made carrot and coriander, spicy parsnip, leek and potato and Jerusalem artichoke soup.
Freezers full, it’s all so delicious you feel like swinging from the trees after a bowl of good homemade soup.

Lentil soup for me. I made a large pot of lentil soup in the slow cooker today.

I once called a soup of all the leftover veg in fridge - mouldy veg soup and it stuck with my family.
But I make loads of soup in the winter, favourites are
Butternut squash and chilli
Broccoli or Cauliflower and Stilton
also lots of people ask me to make my pea and ham soup but I just sweat an onion in oil add 2 tins of mushy peas, half a pint stock simmer for 10 minutes. Whizz up and add sliced cooked gammon.Delicious

An old recipe but my favourite.

I make soup most days ,we have it once and freeze the rest...if my son doesn't arrive looking for soup to take home.This week we've had scotch broth,ham and lentil,chicken and sweetcorn.leek and potato and minestrone .I dont have a soupmaker I enjoy the prep and the family enjoys the results.

I made roasted sweet potato and red pepper soup from a BBC Good Food recipe that I found on the Internet.
Here's a link to the recipe.
I didn't have any sriracha so I substituted it for sweet chilli sauce.

Every week I make soups onion beetroot or lentil soup with left over lettuce I make a veg soup with cheese. This week making Cullen skink then cock -a -leekie for Burns Night.

End of week soup. Everything left in the fridge plus lentils. Always seems to be an orange colour and similar in taste. But very good for all that

Veggie Day in our house today (every third day) so it is Mary berry’s vegetable soup for lunch. Very simple but nourishing and delicious.

Peel four or five potatoes for each person who will want some of the soup, cut potatoes into cubes and add one large peeled and sliced onion, two or three cloves of garlic (or not, if you dislike garlic) anything in the way of parsnips, carrots or root celery that might be lurking in the freezer - a good handful of each, cover with water and put on to boil, adding salt and pepper.

Make sure it doesn't boil dry.

If you are making a very large portion, you will need two or three onions and more than one handful of the other vegetables.

When the vegetables are tender, mash them, or blend the soup. Add a little paprika or curry powder if you like.

Serve on its own, or with toasted bread and cheese.

Hearty and steeped in Mediterranean history Pasta e Fagioli a Pasta & Bean Soup is a winter classic. Soak chickpeas overnight saute onions in olive oil and butter
then blend with tomatoes creating a savory base. Boil, stir, and season to perfection. Cook orzo or ditalini separately add to the pot and serve with crusty bread for a soul warming experience that embodies the rich flavors of the Mediterranean culinary heritage.

Hasn’t OP already said that?

Given that Vichyssoise is a soup made of cooked and puréed leeks, potatoes, onions and cream, designed to be served chilled and garnished with chopped chives, I would hardly class it as a winter warmer.
( It was invented in the first quarter of the 20th century by Louis Diat, a French-born cook working as head chef of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York.)
But you would know that

Yesterday I made roasted red pepper soup, and added chopped leftover turkey at the end.

Red and orange peppers were on sale this week at our local grocery. Lots of good vitamins for winter blues!

I eat leek and potato soup hot, lovely.
