Soup soup soup!

Hi, I'm kinda a newbie and have become more and more into cooking the past few years. I love all kinds of food and the recipes I cook reflect that I think but I really want to expand on one of my favorite things : soup

This is one of my favorite soup recipes ever. The cran-relish is entirely unnecessary, though. I have substituted leaks with onion and found that makes all the difference, but it's one of my favorite recipes to make in the fall.

This one is also a winner, and I love the simplicity of the flavors.

Here's two of my faves

I apologize in advance for being nitpicky- but that's chicken broth, not stock. Stock is made from raw bones.

Have you got a source for that? I thought the difference was that while they're both made from bones (raw or cooked), broth is also made from meat and is therefore, a bit richer. (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes-and-cooking/chicken-stock-vs-chicken-broth/index.html)

Stock is from bones (could also have meat). Broth is from meat primarily. Your statement above is incorrect - STOCK is richer because the collagen from the bones is released during the simmering giving it a thicker mouthfeel. The bones in stock are also typically braised or roasted first (gives it greater depth of flavor), not raw. That is why broth is typically lighter in color and not as rich tasting (acceptable for soups, but not as good as stock for sauces), whereas most people find their stock has a darker cloudier appearance and stock will typically turn into a block of gelatin when refrigerated due to the collagen from the bones.

This is not a recipe, this is a trick.

Whenever I make soup I take the leftovers and freeze them. Then the next time I make the soup I use the frozen soup as my base. It is amazing how much flavor that adds to the soup.

My favorite soup is something I call back of the freezer soup. Left overs from last time with random stuff from the fridge/freezer thrown in. I usually start with a chicken soup and go from there.

Friends and family all think I'm some sort of amazing cook because they don't know that I am just really creatively lazy.

This, so very, very THIS!

Soup, with very few exceptions, doesn't really require much of a recipe (and even those exceptions only require loose recipes once you have a little know how).

Here's something a little different but with ingredients you should be able to get easily. A Greek lemon rice soup starting with chicken stock and quick to make. Start first with the lower quantity of rice. It WILL swell up. If you want a thicker version, next time use the higher amount

[lachupacabra]

maybe try leaving out the cornstarch & add another couple eggs.
much better flavor.
:)

also, you can use orzo (rosemarina) instead of rice & its superextra delicious like that!
