Home made there are two..
Leek and potato ( a Delia recipe)
Sort of Minestrone ( my recipe) using all our allotment , borlotti beans and pasta. but need to add chilli flakes.
Tinned.. It has to be tomato with grated cheese on top.

There are good things about winter months .

Homemade is tomato, lentil and chilli - a very quick & easy to make soup.

Tinned is probably a Big Soup type thing - something chunky. I tend not to buy tinned soup as I never seem to be in the mood for it!

Homemade is spiced lentil/veg

Tinned, yuk (sorry) although I rather like the smoked haddock chowder in the fresh milk carton type ones.

Homemade: lentil and/or sweet potato and/or squash (any combination of these depending on what's around).

Tinned: Very few are dairy-free but M0rrisons have one with chick peas and spinach which is nice. I used to like cream of mushroom before I discovered I was dairy intolerant :(

Home made - I make a mean butternut squash and sweet potato, and a lovely carrot and coriander

Shop bought - had a lovely thai green curry soup once from one of those carton things, haven't been able to find it since. I think it was Covent Garden Soup. For tinned, still Heinz cream of chicken or vegetable.

Home made is butternut squash or veg soup made with chicken or ham stock.

Shop -- never buy it so don't know.

Oooo yes, feta, onion and walnut is good with the butternut, the saltiness goes with the sweet.

Home made, anything with red lentils and veg although I do like broccoli and Hamilton and I have made loads of great soups. Chicken soup made from the carcass of yesterday's roast chicken is great especially if it is flavoured with garlic roasted alongside the bird.
As for shop bought, my current favourite is bouillabaisse by spinnaker, you can get it in wait rows and it is delish.

In Holland I had mustard soup in one of the hotel's, that was tangy and quite unusual, a bit like a mild whole grain mustard made into soup.
In Vietnam I had their noodle soups on a daily basis, I love Oriental soups.

Home made: pea & ham made with yellow split peas and boiling the ham joint and whole onions at the same time - you get soup, peas pudding and a yummy meal of ham and onions all from the same effort. I also like winter veg - whatever root veg is to hand plus garam masala.

The only time I have tinned soup is if I'm poorly, and then it has to be the 57's own cream of tomato I was given if ill as a child, for pure nostalgia and self pity! Served with white shop bread and butter.
