I made gumbo the other day and it's pretty f'ing good :thumbsup: diced chicken and chorizo with the perfect amount of heat (via cayenne pepper and hot sauce). ordinarily I'd have preferred seafood over chicken, but I've got a friend with major fish allergies (and it's easier to find a pound of chicken breasts and a pound of chicken thighs).

I just bought a new crockpot and want to get into making soups this fall :)

chicken noodle soup is amazing in a crock pot. same with beef stew, chili etc. We make that a lot in the winter.

all kinds of stew are awful

Best soup ever is tomato w/ grilled cheese or chicken noodle

pho.

but truth be told any noodle soup with lots of noodles and beef is pretty much perfect in my book.

I like a good potato soup.


edit: I might have added some okra and andouille sausage to your gumbo recipe...

Beef stew with lots of potatoes, onions and carrots in a thick broth with wine, stock and lots of spices.

As for soups:

New England and Rhode Island clam chowder
French Onion
Pasta e Fagioli

pork belly and bean

yum.


GF has been making pickle soup recently. ...sounds rather awful, but it's actually quite good. potatoes, navy/pinto beans, barley, shredded pickles, all in a pork hock broth.

it actually works.

I make a mean beef stew.

I also like a Quebec style bean with ham soup.
