What Soup Have You Had Recently?

That would certainly improve the soup :grinning:

I’m not aware of any food that is not improved by reducing it’s beetroot content :horseface:

I like pickled beet. Never tried it in a soup, though.

What are popular soups from your neck of the woods?

Lentil soup is a very common delicacy, especially in winter. It warms up the body pretty quickly. Sprouted bean soup is another common one.

I found these recipes just now, although there's typically some variation in ingredients depending on personal preference (e.g., using less or no garlic in the bean soup):



Then there are standard soups like beef and chicken ones. The latter is a popular choice if someone has a cold. :D

What about in your neck of the woods? Any recommendations?

Technically now my former neck of the woods


Indonesian Soto Ayam (Turmeric Chicken Soup), Sop Buntut (oxtail soup), Soto Betawi (beef in coconut milk soup) and Tongseng (Goat in Sweet curry soup but not sure if it is a soup or stew technically).

Will see if my wife has an English recipe for any of these. She sometimes translates them for my mum.

I love lentil soup.

My most recent was cabbage soup, made with bits and pieces of salty country ham, cabbage, carrots, and the last I made I threw in white beans that sent it over the top.

Most of my "soups" are closer to being stews, but they still do better in a bowl rather than a plate, so they qualify as "soup." Potluck has been a staple of my life time - take what you've got and throw it in a pot seasoned with love and luck.

In my freezer I still have from last year's soup pots, jars of stuffed pepper soup which is simply stuffed peppers chopped up in a pot with a bit of additional tomato base. Also chirozo meatball vegetable soup, chicken and cheese vegetable soup, and several jars of butternut squash soup, which is the only one that got pureed into true "soup" and not stew.

I'll probably end up turning the remainder of this week's pot roast into a beef and vegetable stew. But my favorites that never make it to left overs for the freezer would be hamburger and potato stew, potato soup, chicken and dumplings, chicjen and rice, and one that only I will eat since my siblings have passed, is a childhood treat -- catfish stew.

It's interesting how two soups can have such similar ingredients yet be so different.

Your cabbage soup:
  • cabbage
  • ham
  • carrots
  • white beans
My Ukrainian borsht:
  • sauerkraut
  • lamb or goat
  • carrots
  • white beens
  • beets
Most of my "soups" are closer to being stews,

Which is as it should be!

...i didn't even know half these soups yall mentioned was a thing...


I dont eat a lot of soup. My grandma makes a soup she calls whoop whoop soup which is a very spicy soup with lots of spinach. Great for clearing out sinuses. Often she makes it when someone is sick.
I think I'd like whoop whoop soup.

She uses a lot of other spices but thats where she got the recipe from trim healthy mama. She also uses turkey she's allergic to pork due to alpha gal syndrome

Edit: thats not a link to trim healthy mama you'd need to pay to get the recipe directions I think. But it is a list of ingridents shouldn't be hard to figure out without the full recipe.

Thats a free version of the recipe. I dont know what other spices my grandma uses that isnt listed in the original recipe but she puts a ton of chilli powder and red pepper flakes.

I might try the recipe without the meat.

I've made Lamb stew once when living in the city and found a leg of Lamb on special after Easter. It was amazing! I don't remember what I threw in the pot with it, though. It was a Potluck after the leg was oven roasted. Your borsht recipe looks good.

Crockpot lamb stew is a staple with us. All it really needs is ...
  • carrots
  • parsnips
  • cellery
  • onions
  • green beans (I prefer okra)
  • a good red wine
  • vegetable broth
  • and, perhaps, some barley
(Goat can be substituted for the lamb.)

I could do that one. I can even see using chicken and Marsala. Neither Lamb nor goat is readily available here. I get Lamb chops once in a blue moon, maybe.

Do you have a Costco in town? (Or, better yet, a Muslim community nearby?)

No, and NO. LOL We only get the occasional Lamb chop because of the Mennonite community. This is hog and chicken country, USA. The land of Smithfield Foods and Perdue.
