Since it's getting colder out I've been cooking more soup lately. My personal favorites are black bean, lentil, and cream of mushroom. The boxed soups I get from the store are really good and I like to make my own with some broth and vegetables.
 
I just had chicken last night. Always include carrots and potatoes, with a bit of celery. Sometimes add a sprig of rosemary. Typically use shell noodles but sometimes put elbows in too. The amount of bouillon cubes used varies from 3-6, but I usually add at least one extra to my bowl because I crave that salt.

Looking up recipes for various glorious Nihon soups... just gotta find a place to buy kombu kelp. Winter is here, it's time for soup erryday
 
Miso soup, with very little else in it.

Especially when it's doing this.

Watching it roiling like that is very soothing.
 
Soup is a pretty boring meal tbh. I've tried to get into it, cuz it's a cheap lunch.. but I always give up on the meal halfway through.
 
Had some miso at lunch, so good.

I'm currently making soup for dinner. I would say chicken noodle, but I'm using turkey meat, turkey broth and chicken stick... so poultry noodle?

I roasted a turkey a few nights back so I threw the carcass in my slow cooker with onion, garlic, and mushrooms I picked and dried (porcini and chantrelles). The porcini are for broth flavor, the chantrelles I pick out and throw back into the soup.

So usually I make either a japanese sukiyaki style or chicken and dumplings, my husband asked for traditional chicken noodle this time though. So right now it's simmering on the stove with, the french trilogy (celery, carrots, onions), some muddled roasted garlic, diced broccoli, diced carrots (I vary sizes for different mouth feel), peas, egg noodles, and potato cubes. Spices are mostly thyme and a pinch of sage.
 
Simple delicious Chinese broth you can easily do at home:

Carrots and Green Radish in 1:3 proportion, chopped
Big, bony pieces of pork shanks, chopped
1 or 2 piece of dried jujube; small amount of Chinese almond. Optional: one corn cob, cut in small sections.

Throw everything together and slow-boil for 5 hours at least. Salt to taste.

Tomato soup and grilled cheese is the ultimate winter comfort food.
 
I suck at making soup. I don't really know why, I'm decent at making other stuff but any time I try to make soup it just does not turn out well at all.
SO I'm taking a soup making class this week (I wanted to take a cooking class anyway, soup seemed logical) I'll report back how it goes if it's good.
