Is there a soup that will convert “soup is not a meal” people into soup people?

The soup at Mendi's is the best soup in the city.

I have been obsessed with the Moosewood recipe for Hungarian mushroom soup for years. It's my all time fave soup; it's a very popular recipe for good reason. Unfortunately my DH does not like mushrooms, so I don't make it very often.

I love soup and serve a lot of soup. But the only soup I’d serve without something on the side is ramen or pho.

I don't like soup and I wish people would stop pushing it. Just let people like what they like.

Yeah, I don't get why people need to be convinced. I don't care for soup. I will eat certain soups that I prepare myself, just the way I like (I don't like them liquidy so they'll be more like marinated beans and vegetables). I am picturing someone trying to serve me all different kinds of soups until they convert me into a soup person, but why?

Good Ramen ..not the $1 kind
Pho

TonkAtsu is a non-soup dish of breaded pork cutlets.

TonkOtsu ramen is ramen with Tonkotsu (pork bone) broth, instead of shoyu or miso or shio broths.

Sorry, I'm Japanese and this bugged me. Carry on.

Check out this book:

Every Season is Soup Season

My quilt group recently offered several for lunch at a meeting. I had the coconut curry but the other options also looked and smelled great.

Also love chili and am experimenting with mushroom lentil.

My teen boys want meat, so YMMV.

But soup and half a sandwich isn't a real meal Jerry.

No. Though there is one that is close. Beans with smoked pork ribs. I like that one a lot, but I really dislike soups. Soup is a starter.

2 cups fat-free chicken broth
2 cups diced potatoes
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup margarine -- (1/2 stick)
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
8 ounces cheddar cheese -- shredded
2 cups cooked chicken -- diced, can use ham or turkey


In 4-qt. saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Reduce heat and add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, salt and pepper; simmer, covered, 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt butter; add flour and mix well. Gradually stir in milk; cook over low heat until slightly thickened. Stir in cheese and cook until melted. Add cheese mixture and chicken to vegetable mixture. Cook, stirring, over low heat until all ingredients are heated through.

Why don't you use the broth from cooking chicken? Or do you buy roasted chicken and then shred? To me, soup should have homemade broth. It should be cooked for a long time with meat and veggies. You are just assembling store-bought ingredients.

Chicken noodle (usually a crowd pleaser)
Italian wedding soup (who doesn't love meatballs--except vegetarians)
Baked potato soup (I think it's too heavy--but it may be good for the meat and potatoes crowd, especially with bacon).
Broccolli cheddar soup (again, I think it's too heavy-but people do like it).

I personally like the clear soups like wonton soup, matzoh ball soup, minestrone.

😆😵‍💫 sort of. Op here. I’m looking for soups that can be dinner. DH was raised that soup was out of the can and only to sip when you’re sick not a dinner meal of any type. It will also be an easy meal my teens can reheat without burning and make next year at college.

…If I can find the right, hearty soups!

Because the soup pushers are cheap and lazy

Do they like soup? Because it doesn't sound like you guys eat soup regularly, and you already have a college-bound teen so it's not like you're all new to each other ....
Lots of things can be reheated without burning, and honestly it's a rare teen who is going to make soup from scratch in their apartment. I think this is a misguided quest. Best of luck, though.
