What's the most amazing soup you've ever had?

amusedmonkey · April 2015

A couple of days ago I made the most amazing barley soup. Turns out cumin and dill is an unexpected but surprisingly delicious combination. Here it is:

Except I did not use swiss chard, I used spinach.

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to top that, so I'm fishing for ideas that wouldn't pale in comparison and leave me wanting. What's the most amazing soup you've ever made? As a personal preference, I'm not a big fan of cream based soups.

My lentil soup is legend.

I'm in agreement with the others, sausage/kale/bean soup is definitely my fave...whether it's from olive garden or homemade, it's just a beautiful combination.

Lamb Shank and Pearl Barley soup. I found it in a Taste magazine (BC Liquor Stores) a few/several years ago. It's a bit of work and a lot of chopping, but the result is so worth it.

Pumpkin soup! Although it has cream in it, I think it's heavenly: http://www.yammiesnoshery.com/2011/10/pumpkin-soup.html

This beef and barley stew! I add a lot more beef, some bouillon (or better than bouillon), and some chopped baby bella mushrooms. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/09/beef-barley-soup.html

My family's favorite is Posole with real anchos ( I've seen recipes online with no ancho chiles--weird).

Potato soup or as others have said zuppa toscana. I also make ham and bean soup. Very low cal and high fiber and the easiest soup to make in the world.

I like lots of different kinds of soups, but I think my favorite is homemade chicken/veggie soup (using homemade chicken broth made by boiling the chicken carcass with veggies). A bowl of that with some crusty bread. So good.
