I'm conditioned-off soup. Even the thought of it makes me begin to heave.
Stems from the time I was recovering from serious illness & a long period of complete starvation. The only thing they would feed me at first was thin soups & then thicker ones. Needless to say, my battered guts heaved them straight back-up & after a few weeks of this, I couldn't tell the difference between it going up or down. Bleurgh!
Skink soup (Quite different to the Cullen Skink above) was probably my favourite before then.

because I wonder why they've closed down.
We don't want any talk of sick round here Mmm. I love chicken and sweetcorn soup too.
One of the easiest soups to get right too, even if you're feeling lazy. Get a couple of cans of creamed sweetcorn and add to your stock (about equal proportions stock and corn), a healthy dollop of soy sauce, some chicken bits from the carcass and it's pretty much done. Whip an egg into the hot soup and stir furiously - this thickens the stock and gives the attractive white strands. Garnish with some finely chopped spring onions and a swirl of soy if you're feeling poncey.
Better than anything you'll get in your chinese takeaway...

I made fantastic soup today. Last night I put loads of carrots and onions and a couple of cloves of garlic in a casserole dish with a bit of olive oil, and baked them slowly with a lid on till they were well cooked and just turning slightly brown. For the soup I liquidised them with some extra water and a touch of marigold veg bouillon.
It was an experiment, since I had the oven on, to see if cooking the veg like that would make the soup better. It does. Much.

Same as any other soup, but do that Ainsley 'percy pepper' hip swirl...
More seriously, most of the West Indian soups I know feature dried thyme and some hot pepper, but there's no particular recipes that stick in the mind. Most of them are slightly more robust (read spicy) versions of fairly common soups - guyanese soups tend to be familiar (Pumpkin, split pea, lentil, won ton with added chilli.
ETA - and allspice adds that warm caribbean note frequently.
Not sure about this creamed sweetcorn idea...but I'll give you the egg in hot soup. I usually whip it and then pour it in about 2 mins before serving - absolutely makes the soup I thinktarannau said:Mmm. I love chicken and sweetcorn soup too.

I eat it every day for my lunch and can have a whole 3 weeks run of a different flavour each time.
I brought 13 cans of soup to work the other day and my colleagues helpfully removed all the labels and replaced them with new labels with pics on and flavours like Hoff, Fat Cat, Eric Hall, Moose & Pine Tree and Lemmings.
But I don't mind cos it makes lunchtimes more exciting and surprising.
I had this brilliant book when I was a kid - Absolute Zero by Helen Cresswell - in which the family took all the labels off all the tins in the house for some competition, so that no-one knew what was in them all. They took it in turns to shake the tins and decide which of them to open for dinner, and everyone was bound to eat the results.

If Dodgepot ever does cook one of his roast chicken suppers and you've space, freeze the carcass (particularly the wings) and I'll make a soup for you.
What caribbean soup recipes from the shop won you over? What you missing?
you're on tarannau! (and you soj )
well I'm sure it's not anything too fancy that I like, chicken, mutton, there's a couple of pea soups that are lovely, all with big chunks of potato and yam. oooh and dumplings
and I'm sure other things, but they're the ones I've noticed!
they're nice and thick and filling and tasty.
