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.

Vegetable paella for supper.

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

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.

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.

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.

An old recipe but my favourite.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Bottom of the fridge soup here. Varies from OK to delicious.

Summa soup here: some ‘o’ this and some ‘o’ that, using up leftovers. Never the same; always good.

Veg box clear out soup
Always good never the same

Me too - Garbage Soup! Never tastes anything but delicious!

It’s called Dustbin soup here (my mother coined that term) - whatever you’ve got/whatever needs using up.

Staples here include red or yellow lentils, pearl barley, sometimes orzo pasta, but always several different veg chopped small. Plus any leftovers, e.g. boiled or mashed potatoes, parsley sauce, that last, lonely, dried up rasher of bacon or slice of ham, etc.
I hardly ever make a blended soup. And there’s usually grated cheese to add.

Now and then I make a minestrone with a tin of chopped tomatoes, garlic, onion, celery, a tin of kidney or other beans, Italian herbs, stock cubes, pasta (obviously), sundry veg, and serve with grated cheese and garlic bread out of the freezer, assuming that we haven’t already eaten all the last batch.

Spicy parsnip is a big favourite of mine also sweet potato and mushroom.

The current favourite is Hamburger soup which, as its name suggests, is American. Basically minced beef, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes and potatoes, with beef stock, tinned tomatoes and bell peppers.

This weekend it was leek and potato, with some left over bacon and a bit of grated cheese. I love Pasta et Fagioli and Sweetcorn Chowder, but DS doesn't eat beans or sweetcorn.

This week it will be butternut squash soup, and celery soup, because those are what's hanging about in fridge.

I’ve got soup mix soaking for surprisingly enough soup mix soup which was a Lindsey Bareham recipe from the times long ago.ssometimes have a ham hock in the slow cooker but I did gammon last week and I’m using the leftovers.

Wow .. What a pleasant surprise to see so many participants today with scrumptuous soup recipes and ideas.

Thank you to Ladies.
Nice Sunday wishes.
