What is Soup?
Soup can be as simple as a seasoned stock. Although technically that would be considered more of a broth or, if you want to get really fancy, a consomme. But in general, the word "soup" refers to things suspended in liquid, the liquid generally being thinner than stew. Sometimes soups are made with stocks and sometimes they are made with plain water. I think the easiest way to make soup is from leftovers. Leftover roast chicken becomes chicken noodle soup, leftover ham bone becomes ham and white bean soup, etc. Use good ingredients and combine them simply and well to make really good soup. Below I have listed some of my soup recipes; see if one of them strikes your fancy.
