?SP? Tom Yam Goong
Very nice mixture of flavours, light, and any time you're feeling sick, does the job.
Here's a recipe that seems to have it down

But even the packet stuff they make is pretty good right now.

Other than, I really like potato and leek soup.

Yah, potato leek soup is a winner. Potato anything really- potato broccoli...

Honestly, I can't think of a bad soup. I just love soup.

I second potato and leek/broccoli. I used to get that for lunch whenever they had it as the special.

This thread is actually funny, cause I often say that i would eat soup for every meal. This started when I had braces and my teeth hurt like hell so I had no choice, but I still love soup. So many options.

Chinese restaurant down the street makes an amazing won ton soup.

and I used to make a soup with spicy clamato as a base, with onions, tomatoes and ground beef. garnished with sour cream. Kinda like taco soup lol

I also really enjoy a hot bowl of Campbell's tomato soup with grilled cheese.

Actually, if it has meatballs in it, it's Italian wedding soup.

I also like that chicken/corn soup they give away at a lot of chinese restaurants/stalls, it's so simple and cheap but very satisfying.

I also love to make a mushroom soup with portabella, button, and enochi (sp) from scratch, vege stock, butter, garlic, thyme, pepper, cream it's so simple...served with rustic-as-fuck-burnt-around-the-edges grilled garlic bread.

Yeah I just looked it up. Minestroni, has more broth and less pasta and beans and more veggies (and you can include meat like chicken or beef), pasta fagioli has less broth and more pasta/veggies and beans. Italian wedding soup is minestroni with meatballs.

I like the Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana. That's a good soup. Anybody had this? Great stuff. Sausages, potatos, spicy broth. High marks from me.

There's a garlic soup at a local Italian/Greek restaurant here that is absolutely to die for.

Sure, you can't go near another human being for like a week after you eat it...but godamn is it ever worth it.

i agree, most cruel indeed. Thai hot and sour, good French onion, clam chowder, almost anything Asian with noodles, i could never pick one. Ashe.

Cioppino, that marvelous seafood soup, especially if it's got some crab and clam, and maybe some lobster. Only had it a couple of times. Purely lovely.
