Gulyásleves!

 

[screened porch]

I like stew, but I consider soup a nuisance. Too thick to drink and too thin to eat. And spooning it out of a bowl takes forever. I'm a busy man.

Chili > Stew > Soup
Favorite soup is Bean and Ham

 

[WhittlinAway]

Thanks for sharing your favorite soups, everyone! They’re making me hungry and giving me ideas.

Posole with red chili and pork is another staple in our house, as is minestrone. We had a lentil and chicken stew last week.

Pea and ham is another favorite, but we haven’t made it in a couple of years. Will need to change that. We’ve made soups similar to potato and leek, but I don’t think we’ve ever made the classic version.

I love the idea of making gulyásleves. I was fortunate to try it on a visit to Budapest and very much enjoyed it. Another one on the list!

BTW, for me it is chili > soup > stew, and we include all of those in our Souper Sunday repertoire.

I make several soups but my favorites are my meatball tortellini, beer brat soup and one I call Brewer Chowder which is a potato chowder featuring all 5 of the Klement's brand sausages you can get at Milwaukee Brewer baseball games: Italian, Polish, hot dog, bratwurst and chorizo. I know it sounds odd but everyone loves it. I had a friend of mine pay me $100 to make some for him and his family a few Christmas's ago LoL.

I've let you guys off the hook long enough... Go Hawks!

I admired your restraint in waiting about 60 hours to mention this, John!

Now that's not nice.

They'd never have beaten Lombardi's Packers.

 

[screened porch]

My old heart won't stand watching the games anymore. I check in on the radio occasionally if I can't wait till morning. They had me worried yesterday.

Pozole here tonight, green with pork, topped with chopped cabbage, red onions and radishes. Last night was lentil soup and cornbread.

 

[Jack Black]

I've been off my food all day, so just had some miso soup

The Packers are falling apart and it all revolves around Aaron Rodgers salary... he gets paid a lot for his talent but it should be half of that because he is not a leader. The Packers do not have a "leader" and have not had one since Brett Favre. I know it won't happen, but it would be the ultimate irony if Brett Favre was their head coach next year At least Russel Wilson is a former Wisconsin Badger

veitsi_poika Russell also played at NC State. He redshirted the 2007 season, played in 2008, 2009, and 2010. I saw him play several great games, he's the real deal. He graduated NC State in three years.

Yeah I thought it was odd he came to Wisconsin for a year... if I remember right he played semi-pro baseball for a while before coming here.

Kevin, congrats on your Badgers overcoming my Boilermakers yesterday in a defensive struggle!

Defenseless struggle?

Actually being from the U.P. I've been a Michigan State fan since I was a kid. They're down this year but have been pretty good over the past 10 years or so I like most Big Ten teams though (just not Ohio State)

Michigan has a great coach right now. Will probably make playoff.

I like 15 bean soup, particularly good with ham hock added

I forgot to ask earlier, is that made with 15 varieties of beans? Intriguing.

Can’t go wrong with all the sausages.

Here’s how today’s French Onion Soup effort turned out:

Three pounds of onions were very slowly cooked by themselved for about an hour and then simmered in the stock I started yesterday. After ladling into bowls, it was topped with toasted bread and grated cheese and then popped under the broiler for a bit until golden bubbly delicious.

Looks delicious Greg
