I make crab and corn soup (seasoned with jalapenos and thickened with pureed potatoes) that everyone seems to love.


That sounds good!!  8)

I love good soup and make my own frequently. A restaurant with a good soup guy on staff is always on my good list.

For me a basic, French-Canadien style split pea soup.
.....the quiet brightness of the city disconcerts. Somewhere malfeasance percolates. There is work to be done.

The family has a house up in Hyannis and I always have the clam chowder made with Quahog (sp) clams. Outstanding.

It's all about the tomato soup and a grilled cheese sammich! ;-)

Of course, there would be not objections to a good French onion soup or some clam chowdah!

My favorite is from my childhood and it's still made here once or twice a year.
It's a vegetable soup but not the type most are used to. The potatoes are skinned and cut in half, the carrots skinned and cut in half, and the beef put into the pot in one big piece. Tomatoes and cloves play a big part in this soup.
The soup broth is served over Kluski noodles and the meat, potatoes, and carrots are served on a platter and everyone helps themselves.

This is really a Polish vegetable soup.... It was a staple at GrandmaKoz's house thru my childhood.

A good receipe for the Polish soup would be great, Polish food is not available in our area, but we always welcome new cuisine.    Please provide a receipe--sounds particularly good in cold weather--something that we're suffering right now, but not in the extreme sense you guys are.  Who Dat!

I'll provide the recipe tomorrow. It is remarkably simple and there is nothing to measure!! But oh so good!
