btw. i can't recommend Covent garden Soup Co's haddock chowder highly enough. Hard to find in tescos/sainsburys though.

This weekend I made pea and mint soup.

load of peas (500g), a bunch of spring onions, 2 pints chicken stock, 100ml of cream and a handful of chopped fresh mint (from the back garden). All blended till smooth after cooking the onions + mint for a bit and then adding the stock + peas + cream.

What is it about the word chowder that really makes me not want to eat it?

I find it lacks flavour stacks.

Alllllllthough.... you can add paprika and bacon to this. Bolsters it up a little.

My girlfriend used to blitz me up some homemade soups before she left the country (something to do with Macc's overwhelming stench). Can't beatabitasoup with some nice crusty bread!

Sweet-potato and pumpkin was always a favourite - check it out! I'm salivating at the prospect... arglarglargl....

Nah, it lacks flavour.

mmm dunno. maybe the word 'chow' being included? a bit like that butter that was called 'golden churn'.

It's smoked haddock. very flavoursome. In fact it's the most flavoursome packaged chowder available, which is why i mentioned it. You're obviously some sort of megacunt with a tongue like a fucking dead slug.

WANKER!

IMO

The rest of the Covent Garden range is also shit, IMO. A couple of them are alright. Bit pricey for what they are.

Dead slug

i never had pumpkin soup...im gonna have to find a recipe and try to make it since its the season

tom yum ramen.
then again ramen is a dish itself not a soup.

so then i like some broccoli/basil soup

[isa215]

laksa
(although the last time I made laksa with some dodgy laksa spice mix from malaysia, I noticed the soup was corroding the wok...not before I'd already tasted some I might add ) doubtless full of sudan 1 goodness

other than that - carrot + coriander - simple and cheap but v. v. good.

all this talk of pumpkin soup has me wondering what to do with the last pumpkin from the veggie garden. Just made a pumpkin pie (pecan pie crust mmmm) - although I'm not convinced pumpkin is a hugely flavoursome vegetable.

[System]

mmm yes gazpacho is really good...especially if its heavy on the basil. i prefer dipping it with a nice crusty italian more than just eating it with a spoon tho

both!

heavy on the basil and the black pepper for me thanks, cheers.

basil? you'd get stoned by grandmothers in andalusia for that.

heavy on the garlic and onion, kept ice cold for me.

good childhood memories in that soup.

other soups that get a rating from me include:

• yugoslav corbica (think chick peas, beans, ham hocks, carrots, chilli and onion)
• pear and parsnip (tastes a million times better then it sounds)
• pumpkin (and carrot, sweet potato, etc)
• pea and ham
• bouillabaisse
• ajo blanco
• laksas
• tom yum
• etc

[Sir Loris of Crowthorne]

you two know your soup(s) by the looks of it.

system, the yugoslav corbica sounds delish

That egg and sausage one that Dghaohghghan was going on about sounds horrendous. probably lovely though.
