What kind of soup do you like?

[Ajani]

The cool weather seems to have arrived, so my thoughts are turning to soup. It's as quick and healthy as you need it to be. And some days nothing else will do.

I prefer creamy soups. I like to add things like cheese or bacon or croutons or sliced green onion to doctor them up at the end.

I don't mind some brothy ones, but with a few exceptions I don't care for bits of meat. I prefer the broth on its own, with a nice chunk of crusty bread and maybe a slice of really sharp cheddar.

Our son especially loves lentil and barley soup. Always has. I used to puree it for him when he was a baby.

I'm going to post a few soup recipes that I enjoy in the cool months. How do you like your soup?
