Good soup recipes?

That's the beauty of soup..... add whatever you have on hand. Substitute onion for leeks, sausage or ham for bacon, spinach for kale...whatever. Having said that, have to dig beets tomorrow there will be no beet soup.

With the weather forecast this weekend I was just going thru a soup cookbook last night, had settled on a Potato/Cabbage/Ham soup but will have to skim thru this thread again to see what looks interesting and appetizing!

My old bean soup recipe....

Reb's Bean with ham soup

1 16 oz bag of Navy or Great Northern beans

3 smoked ham hocks plus 2 thin-cut smoked ham steaks, cubed

1 tsp salt

½ tsp Basil

¼ tsp Rosemary

6-8 peppercorns

2 Qts (8 cups) water

1 large onion, chopped coarse

2-3 ribs if celery, diced

1-2 chopped carrots, (or baby carrots), about 1 full cup

8-10 drops of liquid smoke

Veggies should equal 2 full cups PLUS ½ onion.

Soak beans overnight in 2 qts. of water, then drain. Combine first 7 items, except the cubed ham steak, and bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered for 2 hrs, stirring occasionally. Take out hocks; remove and return to soup any meat from bones. Stir in onion, celery, carrots , cubed ham, liquid smoke, and continue simmering, covered, for 45 mns - 1 hr. or until beans and veggies are tender. Remove cover and let soup thicken as desired.

Enjoy!
