I'm more of a stew person myself.

Welsh leek and potato soup, with stilton mixed in- eaten after I'd been walking in the Gower peninsula, it was a truly heavenly experience (and I'm not saying that just because it was cooked by my partner's mother).

Chinese hot and sour soup, with bite size pieces of roast duck (with crispy skin).

Zuppa dei Dogi, a fantastic soup from Venice, with these wonderful fried dumplings made from ground rice and fontina and Parmesan, in a meat broth with julienned vegetables. It looks good, it tastes good, and the dumplings stick to your ribs.

Pumpkin soup, Australian style, with lemon myrtle scented damper bread.

Dal mulligatawny, rich with saffron scent and colour, served with pea stuffed naan bread.

I like Borshch and Manhattan style clam chowder best, though my GF makes a heavenly squash or pumpkin soup as well.

Theben · October 6, 2003, 20:58

NE clam chowdah or minestrone.

Our grandmother used to make the most amazing vegetable soup. The older it got, the better it got. I made it once, myself, many years ago. Grammy, untfortunately, no longer remembers how to make it, as she hasn't been physically able to cook for many years (since she first broke her hip). Thus, the secret is lost.

No pho?!?!?

There's "cheese soup" but no pho? What the hell are they feeding you in Jacksonville?

dak dori tang

really spicy chicken soup usually with some veggies thrown in, really great stuff.

I've decided against eating East asian food. I always end up thinking that there are cute puppies inside.

Don't let Korean "cuisine" turn you off to what the rest of what East Asia has to offer.

Az · October 7, 2003, 04:22

Koreans... goddamn barbarians....

Ok, so who else serves dogs?

Drake Tungsten · October 7, 2003, 04:24

Maybe the Chinese, but I'm not sure on that one. I'm almost certain the Japanese don't eat dog, though, so you're safe with that.

Anyone for Duck Soup?

I love French onion soup, but it has to have giant chunks of French bread with melted cheese floating in it. Mmmmm......

I can't stand mushroom soup or mushroom sauces. I love mushrooms but soup is far too sickly.

Drake Tungsten · October 7, 2003, 06:29

I'm going to have some miso with shitake mushrooms here in a few minutes. Mmmm.

Sour cream in borsch soup? We always put smetana in it, but I guess thats the russian variation

EDIT: In Finland: heavy (fat wise) sour cream is called Smetana

Rufus T. Firefly · October 7, 2003, 07:22

Corn chowder and French onion are my long-time favorites. But what's with listing wonton but not Hot and Sour Soup? That just seems...wrong.

From this list, good bean soup and pasta fajole. Both awesome. (My daughter would vote for lentil, so I gave it a vote as well.)

My wife also makes some amazing soups not listed here. Last week, she came up with one based on goat cheese and asparagus that was simply awesome!

Drake Tungsten · October 7, 2003, 08:39

Have you had dog yet, Boshko? I'd think so considering the establishment your GF's mother owns, but you never know.

Bosh · October 7, 2003, 09:34

Not yet. Haven't been taken to meet the mom yet.

BeBro · October 7, 2003, 09:35

Tomato and mushroom soup for me

Drake Tungsten · October 7, 2003, 09:35

Do it, man. I'd love to try some dog, seriously.

Bosh · October 7, 2003, 09:43

Apparently it tastes a good bit like turkey.

Drake Tungsten · October 7, 2003, 09:47

I wonder if they'd have a dog restaurant in Korea Town in Osaka? I might have to do some searching.

chequita guevara · October 7, 2003, 10:03

I'm having chicken pot pie soup today (Progresso).

Az · October 7, 2003, 11:11

People, that's revolting. Dog is man's best friend, not meal.

Jules Winnfield: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf--kers. Pig sleep and root in s--t. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense to disregard its own feces.
Vincent Vega: How about a dog? Dogs eat their own feces.
Jules Winnfield: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent Vega: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules Winnfield: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent Vega: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, it'd cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules Winnfield: Well we gotta be talkin' about one charmin' motherf--kin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

so because dogs have personality, we can eat them

DT: you might be able to find it by saying "boseon tang oh di? boseon tang eogi?" (where's the dog soup? dog soup here? in my really really awful korean) but it'll be really really expensive.

Wintermelon with diced pork
Tomato with sliced beef

Bosh · October 7, 2003, 23:45

oooooh watermellon soup.
got a recipe?

Dr Strangelove · October 8, 2003, 00:02

Lobster bisque. There's a restaurant in town that makes a Lobster bisque so rich that it come with a free coronary stenting.

Saras · October 8, 2003, 05:59

Sourcream=Smetana

Lithuanian cold borsht and Ukrainian borsht. Garlic soup at a "scandinavian" restaurant across the street is also good.
