soup is pretty unfailable(is that even a word?) as long as it tastes good. I like them in between a stew and a soup, with chunks

Other than Chili and Paneras broccoli cheese, I hate stews and soups. Its the food I eat when I can't taste anything because I'm sick. Even then though it's something to suffer through. I'm weird though. I hate the taste of salt. I even prefer my french fries unsalted. I only use salt when a recipe calls for it and I usually cut it way back.

Soup and stew lover here, especially in the fall and winter. I don't have a favorite recipe right off the top of my head but I do have a favorite tip-

You know how sometimes you want a nice rich broth or stewy base, or even want to thicken a regular soup to a more stew consistency? Add pureed pumpkin.
Yes, pumpkin.

I grow eating pumpkins, but you can use canned (plain canned, not the pie stuff) and it adds a richness and a smoother texture without changing the flavor. It boosts good nutrients and beta carotene while skipping the hassle of adding starchy thickeners that need fussy cooking. Excellent for us gluten free folks!
And, from experience, it also makes for a good thickener and bean replacement in chili for those who wish to skip the beans.

(...and it's fab for pancakes and waffles, but that is for a different thread!)

Thank you Rene!

I actually wondered if that was the case.

here is how I make this--son's favorite soup: in Dutch oven:
melt 1 stick butter, add chopped onion to saute' until clear and soft. Add broccoli (frozen chopped or chopped fresh--as much as you like). Cover with chicken broth and simmer 15 min. Add 1 whole brick of velveeta cut into cubes and a tbl garlic powder. Stir over low heat and add 2 cups milk . Mix 2/3 cup cornstarch with 1 cup water and add stirring until thickened.

Thank you Cheepteach...I love a good Broccoli cheese soup!
