    Seems to be a theme here regarding people liking a bit of pepper with their soup.
    I have struggled with pepper mills all my life, one I was given at Christmas lasted all of two twists! My usual one gave up the ghost recently, so I have invested in one with a 'lifetime guarantee' (?), called a Peugot for some reason.

    Just read this thread whilst eating a 'back of the cupboard' Heinz Minnistrone.

    Bland rubbish. A generous 4/10

    Its 17 degrees and Sunday Afka. Soup?

    I make my own vegetable soup using whatever veggies I have available.

    I do still like Heinz tomato soup - it is something I always had if I was ill and unable to eat anything else.

    After devouring a bowl of pumpkin soup, it set me to thinking... I only really discovered the wonder of pumpkins at the beginning of last year, on a trip to vietnam. Prior to this i was stuck thinking they were only good for one thing... carving faces out of. Whilst they do excel at having random pictures carved into the side of them, it was eye-opening to discover that they can taste good too. I don't really recall seeing pumpkin soup for sale in the UK, although I may be wrong, you see I feel I have always had a blind spot for other flavoured soups, Heinz Tomato Soup was always the winner for me. Alas i think it has been toppled off it's perch at long last.

    So, as I sit here, not procrastinating, in the slightest. It got me wondering what other mouth-watering food I have been missing out on over the years. Have you always considered something to be too poor for your pallet, only to discover it opens up whole new meaning to the word delectable?

    We've been in Birmingham this weekend and went out for a curry in the balti triangle last night. I had a vegetable called tinda in my balti, a bit like pumpkin and very very nice. Never even heard of it before

    I love soups as well. A few years back I had a brace on my teeth (as an adult) and suffered when chewing! So I really got addicted to soups, especially homemade. Now I make them every week Favourites: leek and potato; tuna and sweetcorn chowder; various minestrones; and broccoli and stilton.
    Experimenting is the best!

    Broccoli and Stilton! How could I forget that!? Another thing I used to hate as a child-blue cheese. Oh the folly of youth..

    Peugeot (yes, the Peugeot that also make cars) are reputed to make the best grinders in the world. I got a set 12 years ago for my 40th and they are still going as strong as the day I got them.

    As good as many of the soups mentioned are, there is nothing better than a Japanese Noodle Ramen soup...

    Clam Chowder is indeed superb.......but it’s not really a soup is it?

    Before I became a vegetarian many years ago there used to be 'clear chicken soup'. I liked it with inordinate amounts of pepper. Does it still exist?
    Wouldn't touch it now, simply curious.

    Mushroom, yes please.

    But, can't beat Tomato soup.

    I don't know why but the phrase "disappointing Scotch Broth" is somehow perfect.
  • Tomato and Basil gets top marks here. 
  • Still loving red lentil 6 years later but with ginger and coriander leaf...
  • French onion soup.
    God knows if the onions are French though.

    I love all vegetable soups, apart from bortsch, but the big soup question surely is chunky or puréed?

    Don't really know. It came in a tin called soup is the best I can remember.
    However this brings us on to the difference between consommé, soup, and broth.
