Do you eat your chili straight or over macaroni/spaghetti/other?  I grew up eating chili as is, but I was at a Superbowl party in January where they served chili over macaroni (host is from Wisconsin).  It was good. Also, I once went to a chili-centric restaurant in Maryland that served their chili over spaghetti, and it was great!

[/threadjack]

nope, just some powdered crackers on top

Favorites:
Pasta Fagioli
Chili
Crab/Lobster bisque
Beef Barley
Cream of Tomato (homemade only)
Clam Chowder (all varieties)
Tom Ka Gai
Chinese Hot and Sour soup
Cioppino
Miso
Butternut Squash

Dislikes:
Most chilled soups (e.g. Borscht and Gazpacho)
Menudo

Other than that I guess I just like most soups in general. :hungry:

Yup when I was a kid. Used to call it chili-etti...lmao... I haven't thought of that in like 35 years...wow...I'm actually having a flashback!

Oh and Chili and New England Clam Chowduh for me!

When I was a kid, we used to make a Nalley Chili/ Kraft Macaroni and Cheese concoction that we really liked at the time.  [sm_disgust]

 :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

Corn chowder
Clam chowder
Broccoli cheese
Chili, but I'm pretty selective on what "kind"


I can't stand Tomato. [sm_disgust] [sm_disgust]

There's a little hole-in-the-wall place here called The Soup Kitchen that makes a tomato soup that would change your mind.

Shou Dair?

Shou Dair?

It's Chow duh!

Chili
Vegetable beef
Bean w/ bacon
Wonton
Jambalaya (maybe not a traditional "soup")

I'm with stroh on tomato. No thanks.

Faves-
T1. Beef and Barley
T1. Stew
T1. Vegetable Beef
4. Minestrone
5. Chili

Dislikes-
T1. Split Pea
T1. Anything "Chowder"
T1. "Cream of" anything

Half of my faves have a tomato base, however, I don't care for tomato soup. :-\  I might have to try it again sometime.

lol :D

The secret to tomato soup is big chunks of real tomato, basil and roasted garlic, none of that ketchup tasting watered down tomato sauce crap that gets passed off as soup by Campbell's. [sm_disgust]

Chili is NOT 'soup'. And Aske, having lived in Texas at one point, should know better.  [sm_devil] ;)


Minestrone is soup, chili is 'chili'. And adding beans to chili is a capitol offense.

But back to the topic....

my favorites:
Tomato
French Onion
anything I get from this Pho place down the street

Ooh! I forgot about Pho. Good stuff! (Though I can generally live without tendon or tripe in mine.)

Heh, the latter sounds similar what I usually get - except I don't eat Campbell's.  I'll have to try out that 'secret'.  Thanks. :)

Chili isn't soup?  Since when? 

1. Crab/lobster bisque
2. Clam Chowder
3. French onion Soup
4. Ham and Bean
5. Pasta Fagioli
6. Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo
7. Wonton

New England Clam Chowder
Ciopinno
Campbell's Tomato Soup 8)
Bisque
French Onion

technically correct.... but I still think of it that way and would prefer it 10x to 1  the rest of the list....

You don't like soup? ???

I usually use a can of campbell's, a good canned tomato, some basil, and some cream  cheese when I make tomato soup.  But if I am in a hurry, Campbell's and some crackers work just fine. >:(

1- Homemade post-Thanksgiving turkey soup
2- Pozole
3- Wonton noodle soup
3(2)- Tom Kha Gai (along with most Thai soups)

I also like corn chowder, minestrone, and ramen (with real broth, not powdered), but I would have to be in the right mood.  I'd have the other four any time.

The best lobster bisque that I've ever had was at a little French-Swiss restaurant called Chef Paul's on Piedmont in Oakland. The bisque was unbelievably rich, and each bowl came with a claw or portion of the tail. It was served with popovers, which were awesome in their own right. Unfortunately, Chef Paul retired and moved back to Switzerland a few years ago, so his restaurant is now closed. :sad3:

Any soup that's hot and homemade.

I once made a pot of chicken/noodle/vegetable out of mostly leftovers that was incredible.  Do you think I've ever been able to duplicate it? :'(

Aske-try corn chips (Fritos) instead of crackers on your chili.

The best recipes - if not recorded right away - are almost certainly never duplicable.  The best you can do then is come close. :(

If you ever get in the Crockett area, try Nantucket's @ the base of the Carquinez bridge...best cioppino and bisque I've had in the Bay Area.

You...You think you are going to get some soup...remember what I said.

NO SOUP FOR YOU...ONE WEEK!

I hope you only meant no soup when I'm posting, otherwise, the week will have to recommence.... :sad3:

 ;D I don't have a favorite or two.  I like them all.  My top ten in no particular order:
Chowders, Chili (but it ain't soup), seafood bisque, pho, Hot and Sour soup, french onion, homemade tomatoe, broth from Chinese or Korean Hot Pot dinner, miso, Beef barley, split pea and ham, gumbo, and the list continues.

Favorites:
Beef and Barley
Vegetable Beef
Chicken Noodle
Chili

Dislikes:
Minestrone
Anything "Chowder"
"Cream of" anything

I feel so special. :D ;)

I like most soups, including:

New England clam chowder
Potato soup
Chicken noodle
Minestrone
Tomato bisque

My least favorite is:

Monkey brain consomme (a favorite of the Siona Indians of the Upper Amazon)

1) My aunt Margaret's Cream of Veg
2) My aunt Margaret's Cream of Tomato
3) Hopper's (local brew pub) Beef & Barley

I like vegetables veloutee but it's so hard to find it anywhere that it's not totally upscale. I might have to find a recipe for myself now.

Generally, though I like the taste of most soups, I don't find them filling unless I eat at least half a loaf of bread with them..

we do that sometimes.   sometimes saltines.  sometimes  *pizza* goldfish .  sometimes a mix of all of them




have you ever had a  peanut butter frito sandwich  (no jelly)?

[tj]Hopper's used to have one of the better vegetarian burgers around (I know, I know, but sometimes this lib likes a veggie burger with his soy latte and tofu). Apparently the good citizens of Midvale aren't light enough in the loafers to enjoy a good black bean burger, as it was removed from their menu some time ago. Their pale ale (forget what they call it) is quite good too. Not Squatters good, but perhaps plaque good.[/tj]

 [sm_thumbsup]  A blast from the past! I just may have to go out and buy some Frito's.

Madame X Nitro Stout - Best microbrew Irish dry stout I've ever had.  Nitrogen served and the whole business.   [sm_drink]

Pale Ale is also very, very good.  I'd put it above Squatters.

I love Hoppers.  I'll travel from Layton to Midvale just to have wings and beers.

Give me an invite next time. Laura won't eat wings. Evidently she finds them to be icky.

Will do.  'Bout time we consumated this men-meeting-men-on-the-internet thing anyway.   [sm_naughty]

No, but as soon as the wife feels comfortable buying peanut butter again, I'll try one.  Salty crunch and peanut-YEAH! ;D

I didn't know you don't like minestrone, Kevie. :(  I thought you were just giving me a hard time like you usually do when I'm making supper.  Sorry. :(

Torpedo and Eagle!!!!!  You two are going to have to learn to speak to each other face to face, not just on this forum!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

lol!  We actually do talk to each other during the day.  We even talk to each other when we aren't online.  However, he was saying he didn't want minestrone in such a nice tone that I thought he was just teasing me because he always teases me when I'm making something. :(  I have such a nice brother. :) :)

We do, we use e-mail and IM also. ;) ;D

Yeah, that's fun. ;D
