I am saving this post for the recipes…

Chicken soup and lentil soup. Especially lentil soup, I can’t recommend it enough. Look up merdzimek chorbasy or turkish version of it (dunno how to spell it correctly but the name is same).

Italian style chickpea or lentil soup is always great, you can make them almost the same too (just swap out the legumes)

Sometimes I turn leftover rice into avgolemono, a delicious lemony Greek soup.

All my fellow mushroom soup lovers should make some Hungarian mushroom soup sometime. So good.

My favorite soups that I occasionally make are duck pho, lobster bisque (it has been way too long since I’ve made this one, but it’s a lot of work), fish chowder, French onion soup, and Hungarian mushroom soup.

Ham noodle soup with those extra thick home style noodles and the ham cooked so long it’s stringy

Potato stew! Potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, no blending or milk

Carrot Orange soup - hear me out, this is awesome. Coarse chop onions and sauté in a soup pot. Add a bunch of chopped carrots and cook with some veg stock. When tender use stick blender to make smooth and add orange juice, salt and pepper to taste. My wife makes this whenever someone is sick or has a surgery and feels weak. It is a magic soup!

Red chilli and bean soup!

2. Heat oil in large pan, add chopped vegetables, saute for 5 minutes but don’t colour the vegetables.

Love this soup! Usually swap the kale for spinach though.
