    I make up soups alot. The one basic ingredient is to start with carmelizing onion by sauteeing in a little butter then continuing to cook on low heat adding a little water, repeatedly until soft and brown. And I often use barley in soup.

    For chicken soups I start by making stock with the bones and skin from a rotisserie chicken. Great flavour!

    One of my better inventions was tomato with turkey meatballs with a little Parmesan on top to serve.

    I make a crock pot of soup every other weekend. Right before we go shopping for the next two weeks. I just clean out all my vegetable drawers. Cup up the leftover celery, green onions, zucchini, whatever. I put them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and roast. Meanwhile, I cut up an onion and some garlic and pop in a pan to cook down and caramelize. Then I combine everything with a can or two of chicken or vegetable broth. Add sour Cream or Cream. Blend it all with some stale bread or left-over croutons. Makes great soup and eliminates wasting veggies I would otherwise toss.

    That's a great idea! I'm always throwing away vegetables and it's such a waste.

    ...However, this recipe is an absolute disaster if your blender isn't sharp enough to turn raw cashews into cashew butter.

    So true. I made a cream of mushroom soup that used cashews to make it creamy. I forgot we got rid of our blender so I had to use an immersion blender, but it just wasn't strong enough. The taste was great; the texture, not so much.
