Try These Exciting Soups

by Patricia Cox on November 2, 2009

Everyone loves a good bowl of soup before enjoying a meal. It’s an easy dish to prepare and it’s a great touch as an appetizer to start a lunch or dinner with. I’ve been preparing different varieties of soup for a long time.

When people think of soup, they often think of the simple types. Chicken noodle, tomato soup, vegetable soup, and split pea may come to mind. There are many more though. Let’s run through a few great soup ideas that may appeal to you.

The first one on my list is a butternut squash soup that features an apple flavoring with it. It goes above and beyond the traditional roasted butternut squash soup by adding a nice, sweet and healthy layer to it.

You’ve probably had soups with croutons in them, but this variety is my favorite when it comes soups featuring croutons. Broccoli soup with a cheese flavored crouton is absolutely great. Whether it’s cheddar, swiss, or any other variety, you’ll want to go with whatever suits your personal tastes.

Here’s another idea. Potato soup, but with a golden browned potato nugget. This gives it a great crispness. The seasoning is key here, and the choice of seasoning is really yours. There are many great ways to make this soup, as I’m sure you’ll discover for yourself.

Pumpkin is in season right now and people love a good pumpkin soup. Making one of these from a fresh pumpkin can be absolutely delicious. There are a number of different ways this can be served, both hot and cold. Use your imagination and get creative with the many possibilities.

5. Ham and cheddar cheese soup. This is an original recipe that consists of a cheddar cheese brother, with bits of ham. The ham is best served boiled, which should probably go without saying if it’s inside the soup.

These are a few of many ideas that you can bring to the kitchen. Have some great meals now!
