Pardon me while I try something new.

Soup is one of those foods, like tomato sauce and apple pie, that I would like to master.  At the mere mention of a hot bowl, I could exclaim “Clam chowder?  Absolutely!”  and without even a glance at the page, I would chop the potatoes, saute the onions, and “presto!” soup worthy of an annual Atlanta “snow day”.  But I haven’t gotten there yet.

So, as this morning’s AJC slid out of its plastic pouch and opened to the food section, I took did a bit of a double-take.  Soups!  To be more specific, Souper Jenny soup recipes! “Here perhaps,” I thought, “is the key to unlock my hidden natural soup talents!”

But then, as soon as I turned the page and found five delicious recipes (Wild Mushroom, Spinach and Barley, Horseradish Chedder Beer, etc…), I thought, why only take tips from the pros?  I bet there are plenty of amateur chefs out there, with excellent soup recipes, just waiting to share them with their neighbors!  But where to do it??  Hmmm…

OK, enough with the cheesy set-up.  Here’s the request.

Have a great soup recipe?  Post it here!  And if there’s a history to the recipe, feel free to include that too!   Recipe-sharing won’t save the world, but who wants to do that when you can eat great soup!

P.S.  Any tips or tricks are also most welcome!
