Surely someone must have said Ham and Bean Soup.... but I must have missed it. My wife makes a kick butt one.

OK, I don't have an exact recipe... but my cream of potato and leek soup:


.

That sounds like it's enough to feed an army!

This might be a stupid question, but can green onions be substituted for the leeks? I actually had to look them up because I wasn't sure what they were. I don't recall seeing them in our grocery stores! I just don't think leeks are common in recipes where I live.

Where does chili fit in the soup debate? I wonder because chili is in some of my Soup recipe books.

Anyhow, my house is now filling up with the delicious smell of Chicken Chili with Black Beans. The recipe calls for stove top but I prefer it in my slow cooker. Heavenly

Again, it's Taste of home but I use ground chicken instead of chunks, chili just seems like there should be ground stuff in it to me.

OP it's in my opinion that when you asked that question you should have required those that like homemade soup to post the recipes

I love to make soups. My favorites are:
corn and cheddar cheese chowder
fish chowder
clam chowder
wild mushroom
black bean

I forgot all about my chicken tortillia soup and taco soup. I love these two but do not make them that often as I am the only one in the house who does.

White chicken Chilli (More like a soup)

2 large chicken breasts, boiled, de-skined and flaked apart
4 cans of Bush's white navy beans
2 large cans (the big ones) chicken broth
3 cans (see above) of water
2 cans green chilies chopped
1 large onion
2 tbs cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Throw it all in a crock pot and cook 4 hours or until hot. Serve/garnish with fresh shredded cheddar cheese and chives. I serve with warm flour tortillas.

You could sub them... but one leek is about equal to 7 - 10 green onions, IMO...

Yeah, feed an army..... we fed about 20 people last time we made it.... Feel free to cut it down. But I only make it once in a great while, and when I make it, I make a lot... and it all gets eaten ASAP.

Sopa de Frijoles Negros- Cuban Black Bean Soup

1 lb. dried black beans,
1 cup of chopped onions
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
4 cups of water
1 beef bouillon cube
12 ounces of cooked ham
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup of chopped green bell pepper


Soak beans overnight, then drain and discard the water. In a 4-quart pot, saute onion in butter or margarine until tender but not browned. Add soaked beans, 4 cups water, bouillon cube, ham (cut into 4-6 chunks), bay leaves, thyme, oregano, and salt. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until beans are tender, 1 to 1-1/2 hour. Remove 1 cup of beans from stew, mash in a bowl with fork. Add mashed beans to stew; stir to thicken. Remove ham and dice. Remove bay leaves, if used and discard. Add diced meat and green pepper to beans. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Serve beans over white rice. Top with lite sour cream, diced onions and a few dashes of red wine vinegar.

I think chili and stews should fall in this category too. My list would be a lot longer, though. I adore a good beef stew, but without tomatoes or tomato sauce.

A favorite here is Le Cellier's cheddar cheese soup- for my portion I put some cooked broccoli florets in the food processor and add it to my bowl. It's sooooooooo good!!!

Roasted Pumpkin Garlic Soup

1 medium pumpkin (about 2 pounds)
2 heads garlic
2 teaspoons light olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh sage, minced
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups water or chicken stock ( you can substitue vegetable stock)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, for garnish


Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350. Split the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Separate the seeds from the membrane, rinse with water and spread on a baking sheet to dry.

Once dry, roast the pumpkin seeds for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Rub the inside of the pumpkin with a little olive oil to keep it from drying out, and then put both halves, cut side down, on a sheet pan.

Put one whole head of garlic under each of the halves. Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour, until the flesh is very soft and tender.

Heat 2-teaspoons olive oil in the bottom of a large saucepan and add the onions, minced sage, and a pinch of salt. Saute the onions over medium heat until soft and golden brown.

Meanwhile, scoop the pulp out of the pumpkin shell and puree in a blender, adding cream as necessary to get a smooth puree. Squeeze 1/3 of the garlic out of its papery shell and puree with the pumpkin.

Adjust the garlic to taste.

Add the sherry to the onion mixture, and cook 2-3 minutes, then add the remaining cream, stock and the pumpkin. Bring the soup up to a boil and then simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon into bowls and garnish with the toasted pumpkin seeds.
