DESPERATE! I need to make soup!

[Sprailenes 47]

Hmm...I actually hate soup and my mom made this recipe and now I make it ALL the time!

2 cans of tomato soup. Add approx. 5 cans of water (depending how thick/thin you want the soup). Bring to a boil. Add 1 pound of ground beef in little pieces to the boiling soup. Allow to boil for a few more minutes. Add one package of lipton chicken noodle soup. Boil for about 8 more minutes. Then simmer for 15-20 minutes.

That's it! It's DELICIOUS!!!

Really?

My favorite soup is onion soup. Can't get any easier than that and it's great on a cold day.

Put some butter in a frying pan and add 1 large chopped onion. Cook until the onion is turning brown. Add 1tsp flour, stir well, then moisten with a little warm water. Add enough boiling water (I use vegetable stock in mine) to bring the total liquid to 2 cups. Pour soup into a pot, bring to boil and cook for 8 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. In a serving bowl, place small pieces of stale bread or toast and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over them. Add soup and serve.

Ahhh hhaaaa my lovelies! Thank you for all your replies. I ended up making Italian Wedding Soup and it was VERY good. He looked impressed although it is very hard to impress Frank so I couldn't tell if it was just a fake smile or what.

I enjoyed making it though and so I made another thing of soup on sunday using this recipe for Italian Sausage Soup.

That looks tasty!

You know, I have rarely made soup, but I kind of feel like making soup now!

One simple soup that seems really really fancy -

Buy prepared tomato soup, and heat according to the directions - when warm, add about 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese to the hot soup, and stir till blended - serve immediately.

That Italian Sausage soup looks wonderful! I'm not too crazy about It Sausage though, so I might substitute some ground beef or something. Another easy soup, if you like it, is egg drop soup. You can buy the packet with the soup base at the store, but I discovered it's really just chicken broth with some spices. Just make up some broth and stir in an egg. Voila!

Mmmm. I'm going to have to try the Sausage one. It sounds soooo yummy. Glad your father in-law seemed impressed. We knew you could do it!

Ta love!! He always insinuates that my husband should have married someone else, just to bother me. It kinda hurts my feelings. He is a typical, North Jersey Italian. He is very blunt and can be very cruel but everything is a joke and "you have to be tough to survive in this family.."

Ya um...okay.
