Soup is good food

Lately I've been making and eating alot of soup. A good cup of soup at or around noontime really warms up the soul, the attitude, and I'm all set. Broth soups are best, but a good pureed vegetable like squash or tomato is just as good. All natural or as natural as possible, fresh ingredients. Chicken broth, veg broth, beef....Swanson's I believe makes the best in terms of flavor, value and naturalness... just make sure you don't get the one that includes msg. As I've mentioned before, cooking with salt is important, but don't overdo it with soup.

Some recent soups:

Ribolitta
Beef and Mushroom
Vegetable Minestrone with lentils and cannelini(very similar to my Ribolitta recipe)
Southwest Indian-style Chicken(with the three sisters, among other colorful and flavorful ingredients)'Southwest' meaning the flavors and heat. The Three Sisters is a more widespread planting/culinary practice dating back to at least the Mayans(read the link and google some more it's interesting stuff)
Clam Chowder with Yucca and Yukon
Ham and Lentil
