My faves:

Tomato Basil
Chicken Noodle
Chicken Wild Rice
Potato
Beer Cheese
Chicken Tortilla

it's so good with french bread. yummy.

I love Chicken Tortilla soup too. McAlisters is a Southern-style deli that was started here and recently was sold into franchising so there may be one popping up near you soon...if so, their Chicken Tort soup is to die for.

I've not had a lot of soup experience. Growing up the only soup I ever experienced was Campbell's Chicken Noodle.

So currently my favorites include:

Egg Drop Soup (it's like crack to me)
Chicken Noodle - but it's gotta be chunky!
Vegetable
I'm a fan of most Progresso soups
Green Chile Chicken stew (homemade - a recipe my sister made up)
Clam Chowder

Wow...that's pretty much all I can think of off the top of my head - I need to branch out in the land of soup.

3 lbs red potatoes
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
8 cups half-and-half
1 (16 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, melted
white pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 lb bacon, fried crisp
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
green onions, chopped, to taste

Dice unpeeled red potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes.
Place in large saucepan; cover with water and bring to a boil.
Let boil for 10 minutes or until 3/4 cooked.
In a separate pan, combine melted margarine and flour, mixing until smooth.
Place over low heat and gradually add half-and-half, stirring constantly.
Continue to stir until smooth and liquid begins to thicken.
Add melted Velveeta.
Stir well.
Drain potatoes and add to cream mixture.
Stir in pepper, garlic powder and hot pepper sauce.
Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place soup into individual serving bowls and top with crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, green onions and parsley.

the bachelor way:

1 can cream of potato soup
2 cans sliced new potatoes
bacon bits, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese

combine all ingredients and nuke until warmed through.
sprinkle cheese on top and nuke until melted.
sprinkle bacon bits on top

this one works best if you use the "real" bacon bits and not the crispy ones usually used for salads. or you can make your own with fresh bacon. that's really good. the greeeeaaaase adds lots of flavah.

Thanks Jaz! LOVE your "bachelor" way..ROTFL

My homemade Beef and Vegetable soup. Yummy!!!!

I also love Chicken and Noodle soup that comes in those envelopes in a box. It might be the Safeway brand but it's good. lol I ate alot of soup after I had dental surgery and couldn't eat anything else but the soup, jello and pudding for almost a week.
