So, now that I have already posted my list of favorite cakes and appetizers, I am thrilled to share with you my list of all-time favorite soup recipes. But you must know, there are very few soups that I don’t like. And every soup recipe on this site is something I would enjoy eating again. But, at some point you must decide which are your favorites. And after much deliberation, I narrowed my choices down to this list. In my opinion, these are the best of the best.  

Now, if you find yourself pondering over which soup on my list to make for either a first course or as an entrée, I have given you a helping hand. M = main dish/entrée, FC = first course.

I hope you find this information helpful. Because sometimes a soup can be very rich. And when consumed as the only dish, even with some type of bread product on the side, a rich soup can become just too much of a good thing.

As I stated above, these soups are my personal favorites. And the soups that over the years, people have told me they also love. So, these are the soups I plan to prepare more often in the years to come.

As I stated in my first post – My Favorite Appetizers, in the future, I plan to spend most of my time in the kitchen preparing dishes that I already know to be delicious. Rather than developing or perfecting (in my humble opinion) someone else’s recipe. Then reposting the recipes or referring to them in my post. So, you will still hear from me, but not with as many brilliant new recipes. (Right, Patti!)

Anyway, I hope you can benefit from this list of my personal favorite soup etc. recipes. Sometimes it’s easier if there aren’t too many options from which to choose. (Like 1 rather than 30 million, 500 thousand recipes for Old Fashioned Chili alone!)

And as always, peace and love to all.
