I didn't realize how using a blender could make it so easy to make good soup

>>5305860
Stick blender best.

carrot soup was my favorite as a kid, asked my mom to make it every week.

Try mushroom soup OP. I made one with mushroom and sherry as the primary flavorings, delicious as hell

>>5305915
Do you do the same thing where you blend the mushrooms? Or should I just google a recipe

>>5305730
One thing that people don't realize is that when making a good black bean soup is use some epazote. It's a unique flavor and I wont make alalogs such as, tastes like chicken, give it a try. The way to do it is make a batch without epazote, then make some with and do a side by side taste comparison. Don't forget to smell the epazote in the first place, to "get a sense of it."

>needing a recipe to use a blender
There were other things in the soup if that's what you're asking. I just googled and went with the one that didn't have "can of mushroom soup" or "1/4 c sugar" as ingredients.

Needs more red pepper flakes

>pretentious name

it means carrot soup. are foreign languages pretentious? should everyone in a spanish speaking country get over themselves and just speak plain english?

>>5306125
Your fucking retarded. It's a foreign recipe nothing pretentious about it. Over there it means carrots and cheese soup in there moonspeak. Trust me I'm not defending a hispanic language I have 0 respect for them and even less for morons like you.

Op you made me feel less alone, I recently realised nobody close to me appreciates a good soup and that disheartens me because I've been delivering them a thermos or two whenever I find out any of them are sick.

I like a basic like pumpkin or tomato soup and then switching around the veges and spices I use depending on season (and the kind of sickness they've got like garlic for colds, chicken noodle for flu etc)

Really, pumpkin, tomato and a broth are my go tos. I want to branch out into stuff like pea and ham soup or a creamy one. My family culture only made non-cream soups so I don't really have the taste for it to know where to go with it just yet.

... you seem to have taken my post in the exact opposite way to what was intended.

also OP, i make a carrot soup in which i pressure cook the carrots with butter, cumin and coriander seeds, then fry spring onions, chillies, garlic and ginger and add the caramelised carrots before blending with a little yoghurt and stock. finish with fresh coriander leaves, lime and a scoop of tahini yoghurt.

does anyone have a good recipe for cheese soup? I've seen a bunch of recipes and they're all different. some use milk, some use beer, some start with a roux. I don't know which one will get me the result I want.

>>5306149
reading comprehension, you should try it.

when i was a kid and we were camping for almost a week with my mom and her friends... we ran out of food but didn't want to leave yet.

anyway, they took all the leftover stuff - we had potatoes, carrots, a little onion... and a huge tub of velvetta cream cheese.

That was the best soup i've ever had.

butternut pumpkin is the shit.

Made some fucking killer broccoli soup the other day. It went something like: head of broccoli, onion (or was it half an onion, hmm), 2 cloves of garlic, a few potatoes. Maybe 5 small ones. Salt, pepper, some water, and a couple tablespoons of butter. Breddy gud

>>5306268
Oh yeah, puree it obviously

>>5306149

I've got three killer soups that I'll whip up when I want to impress. New england fish chowder, caldo verde, and a creamy brussels sprouts puree. They all get the stick blender to some degree. It really makes a difference.

My mom and I like this carrot and ginger soup she found in a cookbook. It's basically chicken stock, carrots, onion, ginger, and cream to finish it off. So good.

I know that feel OP. Bought a hand blender last week for a fiver and can't stop making soups and pâté.

10/10 best money ever spent.

how the fuck can we have a soup thread, and not post some French Onion Soup?

>>5306373
I LOVE french onion soup, but I never get to make any. So good with a crisp salad for lunch.

>>5306390

when I take that first bite of my onion soiked cheese bread, I nearly start crying

>tfw I can't eat soup
