I don't know, David. I've always regarded Albondigas as disgusting. ??
My favorite soups are homemade Chicken Noodle (my dad makes a delicious version), and Broccoli Cheddar. B. C. can be quite a problem though. The quality of the soup really varies from place to place.

Tomato's my all-time favorite, followed closely by split pea & ham. Mmm.

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.

And, really, couldn't #2 also be referred to as "Borscht"? (My first experience with borscht was in 1982 in Grand Forks, BC when my band was on tour in Canada. Grand Forks is/was a town mostly made up of Ukranian immigrants and US Viet Nam War-era draft dodgers. The hotel we stayed at had a Ukranian restaurant and we just had a great time sampling the culinary delights. The borscht quickly became a staple in my food intake for that week we were there. (Can't remember the Ukranian names for them, but we had these "turnover" type things that were stuffed with cottage cheese and drenched in melted butter; along with the ground beef stuffed cabbage rolls with a marinara type sauce over the top) I think the entire band gained 10 lbs each during that gig. EDIT: Another of my favorite soups is my wife's Vegetable Beef soup. She usually makes a big crock of it in November and then freezes it to have for those times when we're feeling the effects of a cold or flu; it feels so therapeutic when we're not feeling all that great.

I don't really care for soup.
The only one I can deal with is my mom's potato soup. She makes the best potato soup ever. And even then, I only want it like, once, during the coldest day in winter. On a rare occasion, if my Chinese food comes with it, I'll have one slurp of egg drop soup. But otherwise.. no thanks. People who eat soup during the summer boggle my mind. I just do not comprehend that.

J, that potato soup sounds awesome. I'll have to make the fancy version (and buy the makings for the bachelor version if/when I f*ck up the recipe).
My faves: Tomato Basil Chicken Noodle Chicken Wild Rice Potato Beer Cheese Chicken Tortilla
