Best soup based lunch

KnightBridgeAZ said:
Soup-a-holic here. Most lunches. Back when we could eat out, as an appetizer. Still from out, occasionally.

My take:

- I love home made Split Pea soup; absent that, I have been into "Amy's" and Progresso as a 2nd. Many canned versions I don't like, those are tasty.

- Yes on Nan and Chicken Corn Chowder; I like creamy soups in general, Campbells Chunky does a Creamy Chicken Noodle as well. The regular Campbells cream soups are for cooking, IMHO.

- I don't typically like "thin" broth soups but have taken a liking to a particular Ramen bowl (Maruchan). One of the few soups I NEVER eat - Egg Drop.

- and finally, yes, I like New England Clam Chowder, but haven't found any brand I really, really like. I also do Manhattan, which we buy on-line (Campbells Chunky) as it is the only one my wife cares for. I don't do any other shellfish / bisques because I don't care for much shellfish other than Clam (and crabcakes).

Nothing better than a homemade bowl of chicken and andouille sausage or shrimp gumbo. Almost as satisfying to make as eat. In a pinch, this will do:

Haha. I think Nan thought you were saying that she (Nan) skipped over the best part by only typing yada yada yada and not more of the dialogue.

What we have here is a unique case of multi-dimensional yada yada yada ... sort of like when you see yourself on a monitor that’s sitting next to you, or Russian nesting dolls.

Could well be and if that is the case I beg her pardon. It was an iconic scene from a series chock full of memorable lines. Elaine Benes forever! And Go Huskies.

'Is corn chowder a New England thing?'
my instinct was to say 'invented here,' but i had to confirm.
so, yes.
'In the United States, recipes for corn chowder date back to at least 1884, at which time a corn chowder recipe was published in the Boston Cook Book, authored by Mary Lincoln of the Boston Cooking School.

So many references:

Where did corn chowder originate?
The word chowder is a corruption of the French chaudière (“cauldron”), and chowder may have originated among Breton fishermen who brought the custom to Newfoundland, whence it spread to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and New England.

Who invented corn soup?
National Geographic asserts that cultivation of corn soup most likely started in some parts of Mexico approximately 10,000 years ago

Where did chicken corn soup originated?
Settlers from fishing villages in Europe that immigrated "across the pond" brought this tradition with them and it has carried on since. The corn comes from the Native Americans that grew corn and made corn soup.

The history of Chicken Corn Chowder

Chowder was not utterly unfamiliar in England at the time, as in Sir Launcelot Greaves (1762) Tobias Smollett has one character state, "My head sings and simmers like a pot of chowder"
 
One of my favorite soups is clam chowder - Rhode Island Red. It always goes good with clam cakes.

This one comes from my wife's grandmother. And no, its not Manhattan chowder. Difficult to make here in Florida because quahog clams are not readily available.

Never had much of a soup game until we got the Instant Pot. Now I can do a decent chili and our new favorite soup - Sausage and Kale. It's great, even better the next day. There are a bunch of different recipes out there. My tips are to use frozen potatoes and put the kale in before the pressure, not after. And adjust your seasonings after a good stir!
 
Ok, when out I go with a clam or fish chowder, most often. The Black Pearl, mentioned earlier, very good. The clam chowder Bella's Putnam was the best sadly now closed. Homemade we make a few that are very good, pasta fazool (fagoli, very good at Illianos), manest (simple, meaty pork bones, garlic, onions, escarol sp, navy beans topped with Italian cheese. We also save poultry carcasses, to make soup, from grilled, smoked, roasted, rotisserie, can be and have used chicken, turkey, duck, Cornish hens, the combination of flavors, also most time also made with escarole. Prosciutto and provolone, crusty bread.

Have you stumbled upon the origin of the term "chowderhead" ? ;)

Chowderhead | Definition of Chowderhead by Merriam-Webster​


"Chowderhead" is a mispronunciation of "jolterhead," a derivative of the 16th-century insult "jolt head." Before being extended to a thickheaded person (i.e., a blockhead), the term "jolt head" was used literally for a large, heavy head.
:rolleyes:

I actually looked it up before commenting upon your post, but I thought it was such a delicious chance to laud old Tobias Smollett.

There was a chowder place on Long Beach Island (NJ) that did a chowder that was basically a mix of Manhattan and New England Chowders, sort of. I think they called it Rhode Island.

Also, when I was young (1960's) we went to a place (also on LBI) where I first had clam chowder - theirs was different entirely, more of a clear broth with whole cooked tomatoes in it IIRC. Delicious.

There was also a different style we had at a restaurant in, again my memory is vague, maybe San Augustine Florida area. We arrived late at the hotel and took their advice for a late local restaurant which was more of a seafood diner. It was delish, there was an ethnic component but I don't remember the details. Red, certainly, though.

Ok, here's my winter warm-me-up soup. One carton Pacific Roasted Red pepper and tomato soup, one can diced fire roasted tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry sherry, cayenne pepper to taste and buzz that almost smooth (I use an immersion blender) and melt in some blue cheese.
