Your college student is never going to make soup from scratch. My college sophomore LOVES all kinds of soup and even so only makes ramen from a packet.

Soup is the best! I'm making a big pot right now.

homemade turkey stock
mirepoix sauteed in olive oil & butter
zucchini, turnips, potatoes, cabbage
chickpeas
kielbasa
elbow noodles
barley
yellow miso

It smells amazing. It's definitely a meal. (I do serve it with homemade pesto & toasted bread.)

Chili
Beef stew with potatoes and carrots, in a very thick gravy-like broth
Pork Verde stew with green chiles

Chicken noodle soup probably won't work, as it's broth-based and reminds everyone of being sick. Bean and lentil soups probably won't appease the meat-eaters unless you include a lot of bacon.


I am someone who loves soup, but believes that soup is not a meal.

But chili and stew are meals. I usually serve bread with them, and shredded cheese on the chili, but I don't think it's necessary.

Chicken Tortilla Soup fits the bill.
I love adding cheese and tortilla strips and it's a very hearty soup with the shredded chicken.

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


NP. Did you crumble any crackers into it?

I'm not anti-soup by any means but it is typically pretty mediocre and those self-serve containers of soup at WF and other high-end grocers gross me out. And for some reason a good bowl of French onion soup (which I love) at a restaurant is now $13 to 20 dollars! Might as well order real food at that point.

I think Panera has ruined soup's reputation. Those bagged soups that just get worse and worse over the years.

My kid made cheddar broccoli soup with 2 packets of cheddar broccoli, a whole family sized bag of broccoli, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, leeks, cauliflower, spinach, better than boullion, brewers yeast, milk, cheddar cheese, ground up hemp seed. It was fabulous. 8 huge cups of stew/soup. Just amazing. I was full.
