Is too much soup a good thing?

I'm definitely a "less broth" person.  I like lots of "stuff" in my soup.  I had a pleasant surprise a while ago in Rochester, PA.  Michael was going to the Brighton Hot Dog Shop for a couple of dogs and he brought me back some of their wedding soup.  I'm thinking "this is probably right out of a can".  It wasn't.  It was in-house made.  Loaded with escarole, chicken and meatballs.  Delicious!!  We were in Rochester 3 days last week and I had it every day for lunch, that's how good it is.
Can't wait for the 90 degree days to end so I can make some soup at home!

I like a well made clear stock, using real roasted beef bones and degreased as it simmers. A good broth comes in handy for a lot of soups, gravies and entrees that pop up during the month. I really don't car if its a think or thin soup, as long as the stock that was used has a good quality flavor, that in turn, makes a great tasting soup..........................pnwc

My Bride and I are like Jack Sprat and wife. She likes the broth, I eat what's left!

pnwchef,
You are indeed correct about the stock.  That is the key to a great soup.  I haven't made veal or beef stock since I left the restaurant biz.  I still do the chicken stock from scratch.

How can soup be harmfull???  My father and grandfather ate it every day for lunch and they both lived into their late 80s.

You can fall into a vat of it and drown.

I seriously doubt it!

llechef-,my Dad ate soup for lunch everyday, as well! No matter at home, or eating in a restaurant, he ate soup.

Reminds me of the old joke about Mrs. Murphy's husband, who drowned in a vat at the Guinness brewery.  "I don't think so...he got out twice to go to the bathroom!"

I do prefer more chew in my soups.  Thanks for creating this thread here at  

I finally got Mr. Hoffman to eat his veggies in making broccoli cheddar soup recently.  He ate two bowls (I did too).  It was delicious!

I love a good broccoli cheddar soup.  I love most all soup!

I agree, mar, I love all soup!  Just nothing out of a can.......bleech!  It has to be homemade......preferably by me!

Ahhh, but you haven't tasted my soup.
 
Canned soup just doesn't do it.  Don't you hate it when you go to a restaurant, order the soup of the day only to find out it came right from a can?

I like a lot of broth in my soup. Vietnamese soups with their plethora of veggies and meat appeal but i still like broth best.

All type of soups are perfect to me. But, please boil it properly and unboiled soup makes the vegetable uneatable. Please share more recipes.
I want to try more different types of soups.

I love all soups. Never got anything worth eating while in the Navy since the navy cooks have a hard time boiling water. But over the years I have come to love all amnner of soups. Specifically, split pea soup, beef vegetable and potato leek are among my favorites. Even the worst vietnamese noodle soup is good in my book.
