Weather to make soup?

[Driftless]

i have mastered bean soup and sea food gumbo.

I am going to make some soup today and need some ideas on soup to make?

[TruthWalleyes]

That bean soup deserves a recipe post!! I've got a bunch of leftover ham thawing in the fridge today!!

Ideas...How bout a Triple Bacon Potato Soup?!? (That'd be Potato soup with Lots of Bacon!)

isnt soup just whatever is leftover from the weekend grill\smoker session + whatever is left in the fridge that doesnt smell rancid?

i think you got some winners right there. if you look in the cooking and reciepe forum pages i think we had a good soup thread going with a lot of input. good luck.

Gardually stir in water & boullion and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 5 min.

Add corned beef, sauerkraut, cream, and 1 cup cheese. Cook for 30 min.

Leaky,

i make almost the exact same soup. It is fantastic and everytime I make it people go ewww... then eat it and are standing there waiting for more!

Little time saver if you need it for serving a big group or at the deer shack etc. and you want to avoid broiling... rye croutons on top and a heap of shredded swiss on top of them... works fantastic!

Good Luck!

Awesome - Thanks Ken - Long time no talk. I still have the Marcum you sold me. It just hasn't been getting much use the last couple of years.

some really interesting recipes here.

Going to try all of them.

Wife opted for seafood gumbo "tried & true"
