Which soup is best?
Any recipes more than welcome.

Personally, leek and potato tickles my testes.

Lentil and and leek is also good.
:) EDIT: it's my mum's recipe though and she keeps it locked in her head. I have no idea how to make it. :(

Either Broccoli and Stilton, or a good strong Tomato and Basil soup.

Then again, Hot and Sour can be either sexual, or disappointing!

Hot & Sour and Tom Yum soups are good
as is Mannish Water (Jamaican spicy mutton/goat soup)

Also lentil soup with a dash of Lea & Perrins

and I love French Onion soup made with brandy, and served with a lump of brie in it.

MmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm

Duck soup
Plus it means you get to have roast duck the day before, so you've got a carcass.

Never gotten away with blue cheese,
although I once experienced a steak and stilton cornish pasty in a delightful pub in Covent Garden, but the stilton was not particularly prominent.

Is there a bad soup?
My favourite though is between Lentil (with wee bits of Ham, just like mumma used to make), or something a bit more exotic like Spicy Chicken, or Crab and Sweetcorn....

French onion soup is great
A good variation is garlic soup - swap the quantities of garlic and onions.

Warning: this is for the brave/garlic lovers only, your breath will cut through reinforced concrete for about six months afterwards.

You all seem to be incorrect
as everybody knows that the only soup in the whole world is Heinz Tomato soup, which you can drop some squeezed up bread balls into, and eat and spill on your white shirt and go 'Aww, mum!'

Proper French Onion Soup is fucking nom
and incredibly easy. Google Delia's recipe - personally I leave out the alcohol she puts in.

Heinz Tomato Soup, but not the organic one that tastes horrible
and it has to be Heinz.

Pub in Covent Garden - the Cove, per chance?

Scene of at least two b3ta bashes in the last year.

Anyway, soup - my missus does a pretty good roasted vegetable soup.

Yeah that was it! Went on a few trips to the big smoke when i was at college and it came highly recommended. Nice little balcony to watch the street performers with a pint of wheat beer and a pasty.

Unfortunately I'm all the way up in sunny Boro, have to make do with a warm can of carling and a steak bake from greggs.

Black Bean Soup...
...makes me pre-cum!

Ingredients

2 Pounds Black Beans - washed
1 Gallon Water
1 1/2 Tablespoons Cumin Powder
2 Teaspoons Oregano
2 Teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
2 Teaspoons Thyme2 Cups Yellow Onions - diced
2 Cups Celery - diced
2 Cups Carrots - diced
2 Tablespoons Garlic Cloves - minced
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/3 Cup Dry Sherry
Salt - to taste
Cheddar Cheese - grated
Sour Cream

Place beans in a pot with 1 gallon cold water. Add cumin, oregano, black pepper and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very gentle simmer for 1 hour,
While beans are cooking, sauté onions, celery, carrots and garlic in olive oil until they are tender.

Add sautéed vegetables, sherry and salt to beans after beans have simmered for 1 hour.

Continue simmering for another hour, for a total cooking time of 2 hours. Stir gently to keep beans on bottom from sticking or burning.

Yummy.

PS NON Veggies - add chorizo at the sautee stage
