Following on from the omelette filling poll.

Whats your favourite soup?

(Yes, you have guessed it - that's my lunch for today)....

Carrot and Coriander is my favourite.
But am also very partial to a nice minted lamb "heinz bigsoup".

pea and ham just edging out tomato.

I assume 'potato' is leek and potato and you don't assume theres a section of FISO who are russian peasants living under an oppressive state regime?

Home made Lentil!!

good spot, followed by a sneaky edit.....

home made tattie soup is another belter!

Maybe you should start up your own Scottish based thread?

We are Englanders

My cousin makes a mean Borscht, which tastes a lot nicer than it smells when it's cooking.

Voted oxtail. Delicious, although I do like a good Pea and Ham as well. Tomato and chicken soup just remind me of being ill.

Tom Yum - best fresh

Heinz Tom - best tinned

Any cartoned soup - rip off

Home made:

1st - Roast pumpkin
2nd - Courgette, onion, potato and tomato.

Tomato soup is the best hangover food in the world.

can't believe I forgot Tom Yum. Favourite by a mile. If I could change my vote I would.

I am not even familiar with what Tom Yum is.

Any one of these really: Tomato, Parsnip, Spinach, Carrot and Coriander, Onion but voted for Carrot.

Must be home made and home grown though. Mrs Eagle has just finished processing carrot, parsnip, onion and bean soups ready for "Soup Season" (October to February incl.) - just does not seem right having soup outside the Autumn/Winter months.

If you are in a tent then all soups even the packet ones taste great.

If you are at home then it all changes.

Mmm beef n tomato cup a soup - "nice"

Andy Warhol was addicted to soup - hence the Campbell's paintings.

Lentil, by a country mile.

Scotch broth.

For the uninitiated - a lamb and vegetable based soup With barley

Mmm.

Another vote for Tom Yum. Enjoyed a stunning one in Chaing Mai in 2006 and now never choose anything else

Lobscouse. A variation on scouse/scotch broth.

Shin beef and loads of veg chunks. Perfect for a quick warming snack and best left standing overnight.

Salisbury's used to do a Fresh Thai Red Curry soup, which was very tasty. That would be my favourite by a long way, unfortunately they stopped making it, they still do a Fresh Thai green curry soup which was 2nd favourite now 1st I guess. Sometimes if the wife fancies something I'm not keen on I will have a whole one of those as my dinner (they are pretty big cartons).

lentil soup

I used to think carton soups a rip off too (and I still wouldn't pay £2 for one) but the supermarket own ones are normally between £1 & £1.50 they are much nicer and bigger than cans, which have now crept up to nearly £1 themselves.

Morrison's Chicken & Sweetcorn is pretty nice too, add an egg when you cook it and you have egg drop soup. Normally £1 for 600g carton.

Maybe with autumn upon us and winter on it's way we should have a home made soup recipe thread!

What's everyone got against Lobster Bisque?

Gorgeous stuff.

We often have that as our soup course on Christmas day.

Great idea surprised. I'd love to be able to learn more recipes.
