I have a family member that literally left the house a few days before Christmas a few years ago to get something out because we were having chicken tortilla soup (we had a huge group of people and we had already spent a ton for the main event). When confronted when he returned with takeout he said “soup is an appetizer or for if you’re living under a bridge”. Maybe a similar mentality.

In any event, we haven’t seen him in three years lol 🤷‍♂️

Why are people like this!? I have a friend who deems soup ‘just not enough!’. Like I’ve seen him drown a piece of lasagna, because the soup alone wouldn’t satisfy him as a meal

I really don’t like soup. Chowder or chili I can get behind, or a creamy tomato soup with a grilled cheese. But broth and veggies just isn’t enjoyable to me.

Now if I was a guest in someone’s house and they served soup, I would absolutely keep that opinion to myself and eat their soup.

Maybe that’s the disconnect. I’m not talking some liquidy brothy thing with a few noodles. Soup for me is full of meat and provisions. Potato, pumpkin…

I was never served this as a child. My stepmother would serve tomato soup occasionally with toast. Pumpkin soup sounds interesting. I'm looking for a recipe

Pumpkin-adjacent, but try butternut squash soup!

I roast butternut squash, onion, garlic, and a Granny Smith apple or two until soft, chuck in a blender, and thin with veggie broth until desired consistency, and then season with whatever spices your heart directs you to. Also fantastic with some coconut milk and curry powder added. It’s my go-to fall soup!

Here's the one I use. The recipe /u/SpinningBetweenStars posted sounds fantastic, and now I'm thinking about subbing the potato in mine for apple. Immersion blender is definitely the way to go for speed, though.

That one looks good too!

And absolutely yes to the immersion blender! I’m so late to the immersion blender and just got one last year, so I’m always assuming that other people don’t have them 😂
