favorite soup recipes

[*Celeste*]

it's getting a little cooler here and i'm excited to start making soups. we have been in a bit of a rut though. so link me up to your favorite soup recipes.

here are two of mine...

chicken tortilla soup - i could eat this every night for dinner it is so good. dh and i fight over the last bowl!

chicken portuguese - i think this is meant to be more of a stew. i put in a whole jar of tomato sauce and a full square box of chicken broth so mine is more soup consistency than hers.

this weekend we are making classic turkey noodle -love! i'm running out today to buy a turkey breast for sunday dinner and then we'll cook up a pot of soup.

We eat that very same chicken tortilla soup quite a lot during the fall/winter, Celeste. I'm with you -- I could eat it every night!

I make potato soup a lot. And beef stew.

I just pinned this minestrone soup. I've actually never had minestrone soup, but all the ingredients sound yummy.

I LOVE soup! We eat a lot of soups once basketball season starts (November 1st). Cheyanne's schedule is so hectic during bball season and I make up pots of soup every weekend and freeze it in quart bags to thaw for those 8:00 PM suppers - just add some nice hearty bread and it's a meal.

I don't have links to my recipes but I'll be back tonight with some of them for you - they're vegetarian, but so yummy

This is a family recipe, Pennsylvania Dutch I believe...It was my favorite meal as a kid and now it's my daughter's favorite, too! I don't have a catchy name for it - we call it "chicken and noodles", LOL.

• Boil one chicken (or chicken parts, whatever you prefer) in a large stock pot.
• Remove chicken from the pot and allow it to cool, then pull the meat off the bones.
• Add the chicken back into the pot with water.
• Add 3 cups of chicken stock to the pot and bring to a low boil
• Add extra wide egg noodles and cook according to pkg directions. (I usually use about 3/4 of the pkg)
• serve over mashed potatoes (home made work best!)

I know, this sounds crazy. It was my grandmother's recipe originally - and it's awesome. You want the "soup" part to be nice and juicy, so don't overdo it with the noodles. When you serve it, you put a scoop or two of mashed potatoes, then add the soup over top. The mashed potatoes really help to thicken the soup and make it extra delish And each person can use the potatoes to soup ratio they prefer!

both of my kiddos LOVE this - it's such a hearty meal. We especially love it on cold days!

I wish my family liked soups, I love them!

We make these every year at our pumpkin patch party
Hearty Tortellini Soup

The recipe I have doesn't have the sausage, but that sounds good, too! I just put everything inthe crock pot and then boil and add the tortellini when we get pack from the pumpkin patch
and Campfire Stew
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/campfire-stew/detail.aspx
I actually triple this one for the crockpot! They're both very easy and everyone loves them!
