Oh, I made that one last winter Glory and it was good!
Don't know if any of you ever read Cook's Illustrated. It's a totally over-the-top test kitchen type of cookbook/magazine, but for some perverse reason I love reading it. I picked up this month's and it's all soups! Some sound good, others, eh. But it's fun - if you're twisted like me - to read about the lengths they go to for just the right taste and richness, yada yada. They do have some good tips and review of implements and ingredients too.
But hey, my favorite soups - like Baffled said on the lunch thread - are just put together from stuff I have at home. Usually some sort of veggie or tomato base, with added vegetables, beans/rice/pasta, and seasonings to taste.
