I'm not sure but I don't think we have a soup thread her, sooooo.....

I had a nice bowl of Yankee Bean soup for lunch today at a local diner (seriously, I'm not making a fart joke here).

Anyway, it occurs to me that I could live on soup if I had to. Vegetable soups, bean soups, beef soups, chicken soups. You name it, I like it. I actually had a sauerkraut soup at a German pub not long ago and I loved it. Split pea? Looks like snot, tastes great, gimme a bowl. Chowdah? In the words of Emeril Lagasse, "Oh, yeah, babe."

Like I said, I really never met a soup I didn't like.

Anyone else?

I love it, too. I made a killer pea soup once, I should do it again. In fact, I always thought I'd love to open up something like Atlanta Bread Company with gourmet soups and sandwiches, only better.

My favorite soups are New England clam (or fish) chowder, Cream of (almost anything), lentil, split pea, "baked" potato, and good ol' chicken or turkey soup.

Real and fresh are best, but if it's canned, Progresso is the way to go. Campbell's (red/white label condensed at least) is ONLY good for recipes IMHO.

It's unfortunate that so many casual restaurants have shitty canned soup. \:\/ But perhaps the best casual restaurant soup is Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana (spicy sausage, russet potatoes and cavolo greens in a creamy broth) -- awesome!

I hate to admit it, but that Olive Garden soup, bread stick and salad deal looks great.

It IS great! All you can eat, too, for $5.95 (until 4PM).

I make a beef barley soup that's very good, and I tried several times to reproduce my mother's ham and bean soup. It comes out alright, but it's never as good as mom's. I think she's holding an ingredient out on me.

I have had the sausage soup at Olive Garden for lunch a few years ago, and it was very good.

Crab bisque is a favorite of mine.

There are certain soups that I really like, but it's a short list. Maybe because it's too many ingredients mixed together!

Lobster or crab bisque, cream of broccoli, matzoh ball, Italian wedding, stracciatella (sp?), New England Clam Chowder, and chicken soup. Those are my favorites. And my mom makes a spinach and red bean soup that's terrific. I also enjoy making pea soup after we have a ham.

PB, did you ever have the Butternut Squash Soup at The Black Whale in City Island? It's delicious.

Once in a blue moon I'll get in the mood for a minestrone or a homemade split pea soup. And every once in a while I'll have a matzah ball soup if I go to a Jewish deli.

The soups that I really enjoy and will have more than any other are French Onion, Cheddar Potato soup, Lobster or Shrimp Bisque and Chinese restaurant soups : Hot & Sour, Special House soup, Yaka Mein or Wonton Egg Drop mixed with fried Wontons.

Ironically, I made French Onion soup today. Shop-Rite had a sale and with a coupon you got a 3lb bag of onions free -- I wouldn't use that in a month (if they stayed fresh that long) so, only other thing to do is make a big pot of french onion soup! The recipe is super simple too, it came out pretty good!

I like my homemade veggie soup and my homemade chicken noodle soup. Also I really like my Mother-in-laws Cream of Potato.

I just can't like Manhattan. I only like New England Clam Chowder.

I'm sure yours was good, though.

You have to try it with melted cheddar cheese. Just make sure the soup is really hot and drop in some shredded cheddar cheese. It's delicious.

Mulligatawny is my favourite.

My wife makes home-made vegetable AND spicy tomato soups.
Both delectable \:\)

The best soup I ever had was the lobster bisque from the (real-life) Soup Nazi. Its expertly spiced and its chock full of goodies (chunks of lobster meat).

If you're in the the New York area, you must check him out. (He has a small storefront on 55th Street just east of 8th Avenue). He is selling his soups in supermarkets now (and they're OK).

Yeah.

This guy who sells soup in a small storefront in Manhattan gained fame and popularity over the years. He was known for having truly great soups... he was also known for being an extremely rude man (as an example, if you ordered your soup and paid him, and didn't move directly to the left - to keep the line moving - he wouldn't serve you). The tv show "Seinfeld" did an episode on him (calling him the 'Soup Nazi') and the name stuck (in real life) much to the owner's chagrin.

Ever since the "Seinfeld" episode aired, the lines to his store have been very long. It became a New York experience to get "dumped on" by this guy. And, yes, his soup IS that good!!

He recently opened a store about 10 minutes from my house. I'll have to try the lobster bisque.

There's also one at Grand Central, right next to, and I swear this is true, a Mendy's.

There are quite a few local businesses that owe that tv show for free advertising. Isabella's and Pomodoro, both on the upper west side, to name a couple of more.

On the SEINFELD dvd extras, there's a funny story about Jerry taking the crew to the original location on 55th St one day as a joke, against the advice of his writers, who knew the owner was genuinely angered about his depiction on tv.

The owner---Al Yeganah (soup nazi), allegedly WENT OFF on Jerry, demanding an apology, because he didn't want to be famous. Jerry gave him a half-hearted sacrcastic apology and walked out.
