The wife makes a cheesy broccoli potato soup.

I'm not a big soup guy, but I actually like that one

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Jay! I'm sure I'd like that too. I've got a can of Progresso's version, but it also has chicken in it too. I'm a big fan of cream-based soups. Good comfort food. Susan's not a fan though. She likes broth-based soups.

I always feel very unsatisfied.

Mom used to make vegetable soup quite often. Sometimes she'd put beef in it too. I hated it either way. Water with vegetables or water with vegetables and beef... either way, I thought it was yucky.

 

[Expat]

I always have that after I have a roast.

 

[Jaybird1980]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of broth based either, like you said I never feel satisfied.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I always have that after I have a roast.

I could probably tolerate it if I thickened it up with a flour roux. More like a stew. Although I'm really not much of a stew fan either.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

After I have a roast, I have... leftover roast.

 

[Expat]

I look at the soup from a roast as a couple extra free meals and I do like free. Sometimes I get tired of it, but it is cheap eating.

There's a reason they recommend beef or chicken broth when prepping for a colonoscopy.

That's true. It's just never even on my radar. I just eat the leftover roast with the leftover potatoes, carrots and onions.

Onion soup with Swiss cheese melted over the top. They serve that at the Rathskeller but as a prelude to your actual meal. Killer flavor.

 

[Jaybird1980]

I don't think I've ever had an onion soup. I'm a big fan of onions though.

Oh now I do love good French onion soup. We had these big round croutons at Fridays that we'd put on top and then a big slice of provolone that we'd melt under the broiler. Swiss would be good too!

It's usually a beef broth based soup. Pretty simple really. I don't know why I never think of making it. It's best if you have little soup crocks though, so you can put them under a broiler to melt the cheese on top.

 

[COOPADUP]

Soup is close to done. I’ll snap a pic for reference purposes.

Looking forward to seeing it! I've already been thinking about what kind of bread to get if I make it. I'm thinking a nice crusty baguette for dipping. Ooh, and then I could get a wheel of Brie and have baked brie to use up the rest of the baguette.

I worked at Renee's French restaurant in Broad Ripple back in the day and they made a french onion soup that was the consistence of apple sauce. Mmmmm

Steeping just a bit longer. But really ready to eat.
