The good one or the bad one? (Red or white?)

The bad one.
Each has its appeal at different times.

No! Different sort of thing altogether. The roux is how you get a thicker-bodied soup, without the taste of uncooked flour. And it's easy: just melt 2 TBSP butter in a sauce pan on medium-low heat, sprinkle in 2 TBSP flour and stir constantly for 3-4 minutes until the roux is light coloured and a bit puffy. This light roux is for creamed soups and light sauces. For darker sauces and stews, just cook longer, either until is tan coloured, or even fairly dark -- but be careful not to burn! That's why you're doing it medium low.

I use roux as dark as chocolate in my noodle soup. Yum

Did you check out the gumbo recipe that I linked? That is exactly the term used by the author of how dark the roux is supposed to be.

Just had this:

It was, in fact, both Rich and Hearty.

Cream of mushroom.
Fancy stuff from a spendy store.
(Heavily discounted.)

I got the soup idea from attempting, and quickly and abandoning, a veggie version of gumbo in the first place

I haven't tried it, but I agree, it sounds yummy!

Ah yes. Vegetarian Gumbo might be rather hard to pull off.

Sweet potato, carrot, onion, ginger, cumin and coriander.
Is what i am enjoying at this moment

When it comes to cuisine, few things are as satisfying to me as a nice soup, especially in colder weather. Whether it's seafood, chicken, beef, or vegetable soup, it almost always fits in with other food.

What soup have you had recently? What's your favorite, if any?

Yesterday I had pumpkin / paprika soup. So yummy.

My favorite probably is a tie between zuchinni and broccoli soup.
With chicory and mushroom soup completing the top 3

I made this tonight. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you very much. My housemate who "hates borscht" even said that it was okay. She thought that the beets were over powering and I thought that it could have had more of them. But it works really really well.

Mushroom.

I made prawn wonton and noodle soup tonight. It's a bit of a pain to make the wontons but it tasted good.

 

[ChristineM]

Not sure you can call it a soup, it's really a scrambled egg but cooked in a bain marie so the egg cooks but doesn't actually set.

With grated black truffle and fresh bread it's a delicious equivalent to a nice soup to be eaten with a spoon.

Just went to an Italian Restaurant at the Jersey shore and had Butternut Squash Soup and OMG, it was the best I had ever had. I let my wife have a spoonful and she wanted to order it.

The last soup I had was wonton soup, which goes well with a spring role.
