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

Chili is NOT 'soup'. And Aske, having lived in Texas at one point, should know better.   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 |

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

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. 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.

I meant to create this thread a long time ago back when Torpedo was complaining about the soup that E-A-G-L-E! made, but I completely forgot. Well, here it is, anyway...
What are your favorite and least favorite soups?
Here are my favorites:
1. Lobster Bisque
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.  |

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. |

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. |
