My absolute favorite is potato soup, but made like it was a fully loaded baked potato so it has sour cream, chives, cheese and bacon in it.
Ham noodle soup with those extra thick home style noodles and the ham cooked so long it’s stringy
Potato and leek soup. Making it it tonight. Can’t wait!!
Make some for me too, please
Do you add bacon too?
Roasted butternut squash with carrot and red pepper, needs a good kick of ginger and black pepper.
Miso or Thai Tom Yum(?)
alphabet soup
Chicken soups. Especially the never plain ones with few ingredients.
Split pea with a mountain of crackers
Chicken soup and lentil soup. Especially lentil soup, I can’t recommend it enough. Look up merdzimek chorbasy or turkish version of it (dunno how to spell it correctly but the name is same).

- Drain and rinse the beans, stir into the soup with kale. Cook for a few minutes until the beans have warmed and the kale wilted.

Love this soup! Usually swap the kale for spinach though.
capsicum
Tell me that you’re from Oz without saying that you crack tins.
Serious now, I do something similar with chickpeas instead of beans. Plus some pork butt - it goes great with both kale and peppers!
Do you happen to have a link to the Mushroom soup recipe you made or something similar?
Here’s one I really like. What I found makes it is that the mushrooms are fried first. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/235589/chef-johns-creamy-mushroom-soup/
Not for soups, but a tip for frying mushrooms and getting rid of the mushrooms texture that a lot of people hate is parboiling it in salt water for 3-5 minutes before going in a very hot pan.
Of if there is no time for that, salting it at the end of the cooking process helps it now reabsorb the moisture it sweats out!
Carrot Orange soup - hear me out, this is awesome. Coarse chop onions and sauté in a soup pot. Add a bunch of chopped carrots and cook with some veg stock. When tender use stick blender to make smooth and add orange juice, salt and pepper to taste. My wife makes this whenever someone is sick or has a surgery and feels weak. It is a magic soup!
Sometimes I turn leftover rice into avgolemono, a delicious lemony Greek soup.
All my fellow mushroom soup lovers should make some Hungarian mushroom soup sometime. So good.
My favorite soups that I occasionally make are duck pho, lobster bisque (it has been way too long since I’ve made this one, but it’s a lot of work), fish chowder, French onion soup, and Hungarian mushroom soup.
