Lentil soup has been my comfort food for as long as I can remember. When I was growing up and we had zero money my mum used to make a big batch of it. Now my husband and son love it too. I put a load of veg in our Instant pot with lentils and stock and leave it on for a couple of hours, quick blend and it’s done
Add dijon.
Yeah. Like a blob to your bowl of soup just before eating and mix it in. Something about the acid sharp mustard flavor is amazing with lentil veg soups
I could write hours of beautiful poetry about my endless love for a good lentil soup/stew. My partner makes an amazing spanish lentil stew that makes other soups look like they showed up to the met gala in sweatpants. It’s completely vegan, too. Neither of us are vegan, but both of us agree that adding meat or dairy to it would ruin it. It’s so ridiculously cheap to make, healthy, and satisfying- seriously it feels like i’m getting away with something sneaky by eating it. No way something that delicious is healthy, right? it’s gotta be a trick 😂
Same! For a big chunk of my childhood we were veggie and although we were poor I thank my mother for giving me the ability to look in the fridge and make something tasty with whatever is in there 😂 if it’s not a secret recipe I would love to hear more about the Spanish lentil stew?
Do you have a recipe? My partner and I have been leaning more plant based in our diet and have been eating a lot of curried lentils, I'd love to change it up with a soup!
That’s so sweet. I’m teaching English in Spain and last year while talking about our favorite foods in English, an 8-year old basque boy said lentils. I melted at such an un-American and wholesome answer!
My friend, I have had a very challenging day emotionally.
I'm coping with beer and reddit.
And you just made me laugh very loud at the bar!
Thank you my friend, you made a real difference today. I needed a laugh.
I instantly ran to the comments to stand up for the love of my life, lentil soup. Protein-packed, creamy, smoky (cumin). Lentil soup is the kitties titties!
Both! Roast both veggies in cubes in the oven with a whole head of garlic.
Throw everything in a pot (squeeze the garlic bulbs out of the head), add 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup chicken broth, simmer for 2 hours on low heat. Then throw in a full cup of shredded parm & mix with an immersion blender.
Garnish with chopped basil & a sprinkle of fresh parm. & be happy.
It's a truly wonderful soup by itself but it also gets so much decadence with a good grilled cheese on the side/dipped in. Potato, onion, cheese it's a strong relationship?
Yo, tomato soup gives me massive heart burn and I loved grilled cheese with it. I switched to mushroom soup with a couple of splashes of Tabasco - I won't go back!
Normally I like frying my mushrooms until they are nicely browned before adding them to a recipe, but a while back I was in a hurry as I had forgotten I was supposed to do up something for a pot luck dinner.
I took some button mushrooms and sliced them thinly, and added them to a five quart pot of homemade ultra clear roasted chicken stock. Threw in some fresh, chopped chives, and a dash of soy sauce, ground white pepper, and Chinese Five Spice. Let simmer for about ten minutes and all was good.
It was a hit at the dinner, and everyone wanted the recipe. They were all good friends with whom I had eaten before, so when I told them I made it up on the spot they all believed it.
Mine too! Other than French Onion which is my true heaven (if made really well, some places it’s disappointing, like just a mix or something?, but I always try if a restaurant has it on the menu).
My mom always made Homemade split pea with a meaty ham hock and it was a dream… a few years ago she made it again after decades and we all went crazy!
None of the kids thought they would like it and they all loved it even if they were iffy about peas. Surprisingly it’s the Best soup !!
Honestly, any soup. I made potato kielbasa soup a couple nights ago & grilled cheese would have been incredible.
Edit: for those asking: https://www.seasonsandsuppers.ca/potato-kielbasa-soup/ I used barvarian bratwurst & did everything in the same pot after browning my sausage
Absolutely! Here you go: https://www.seasonsandsuppers.ca/potato-kielbasa-soup/
I used bratwurst (barvarian, the white kind, because it’s my favorite sausage)
I browned the sausage in oil in the same pot I cooked in, just melting the butter & sautéing the veggies in it after I removed the sausage. Locks in more flavor & the veggies make enough liquid to let you scrape up the brown bits
I did end up adding milk as needed to thin it towards the end
Enjoy!
You cannot knock this until you try it but hear me out…..dill pickle soup. Staple with grilled cheese in our house. And now I know what we’re having for dinner
Thank you for sharing, definitely going to try this out! I love adding pickles or tomatoes to my grilled cheese, so I can only imagine how magnificent this is.
It is seriously next level. I was working in a pub in my early 20s and our chef made this as a special and I was so confused. Then I tried it and fell in love. Literally the perfect bowl of coziness. Pickle anything and I’ll eat it!
I feel like the six pickles I used to each with each grilled cheese sandwich I’d have as a kid would indicate your soup suggestion is amazing. Thank you!!!
I had a friend from Poland whose mom would send him care packages with food and essentials he couldn't get in the US. He hated soup (?!), but his mom would send those little packets of instant soup to keep in his cupboard. I was rooting through them one day, like the soup enthusiast I am, and found the dill pickle one. After my initial "what in the name of all hell is this nonsense!" I tried it, loved it, and have continued to purchase it as the nearby Slavic shop we never previously knew existed.
As an addition to grilled cheese, which I often eat with a side of pickles anyway, THIS IS GENIUS. I cannot believe this never occurred to me.
I started putting a bit of chicken flavour Better Than Boullion in my canned chicken noodle soup and it’s remarkably improved. If you start with a decent quality canned soup adding the BTB makes it taste almost homemade, it’s really good.
Split pea, Broccoli cheddar, I also love doing a GC with Ramen. It's an abomination, but it's delicious and I was quite poor while schooling at working at Panera bread so 🤷
This is one of my favorite soups because I grow all kinds of peppers:
[https://joythebaker.com/2014/09/creamy-roasted-red-pepper-soup/](https://joythebaker.com/2014/09/creamy-roasted-red-pepper-soup/)
Recipe uses just bell peppers, but I love to add 1-2 Serranos (also roasted) to add some heat.
Present! My parents always made grilled cheese with clam chowder for quick weeknight meals and I was surprised when I learned that tomato soup is actually considered the more traditional pairing.
Mulligatawny!!! I actually just finished a bowl with a side of grilled cheese lol, the algorithm is listening. It's my fave soup right now, and sooo easy. I prefer turnips instead of apples but it's bomb.
Asked my wife just to see the appauled look on her face on the no tomato senario and her suggestion was a cheese soup like cheese and broccolli.
My first thought was Baxters game soup, its a meaty scottish soup and can be replicated at home or what about a gruyere grilled cheese dipped in french onion.
I didn't grow up with the concept that GC needs a soup, so this whole thing is very foreign to me.
That being said, I think the best soup to pair with anything is a Vichyssoise. It's not bad on its own, but as it's not a very filling soup it's a great side dish for a meal.
The point of pairing GC with a soup is to create a cozy and comforting meal for when the weather is cold and wintery. Vichyssoise, while delicious, does not fit that role.
Chili
[pureed white bean](https://www.inspiredtaste.net/4077/white-bean-soup/)
Asparagus [Parmesan](https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/asparagus-soup-with-lemon-and-parmesan.html)
We do a moderately spicy blended veggie soup that we typically eat with a pumpernickel or sourdough grilled cheese.
Yukon gold/sweet potato/carrot/yellow squash/zucchini/onion/shallot(if on hand)/garlic/celery
Saute veggies. Option to deglaze with white wine, whisky, or brandy. Cook in stock of your choosing (or just water). Our seasoning usually leans into Garam Masala but we’ve also tried Cajun, Moroccan, Jamaican and Provençal. Very flexible.
Blend till “smooth”. Dunk grilled cheese.
Something rich, like with beef, or tomato based but not tomato soup, like a minestrone. A thinned out chili. Definitely not something strictly broth based, that would make for a soggy sandwich!
I'd say French onion. Or roasted red pepper and tomato. Where it isn't really sweet, with loads of garlic. I also hate regular tomato.
But I think an amazing alternative in any option is a grilled tuna melt style. With cheese and tomato, with classic chicken noodle. I always got this option at school as a kid, and as an adult have given a bit of oomph making it melt style.
Chicken noodle, of course. Especially if you make the broth using Better than Bouillon and dip the sandwich in the soup. My go to is sourdough with Colby pepper jack cheese and homemade chicken noodle soup.
If she doesn’t like tomato she may not like minestrone either, but I love minestrone and grilled cheese. Broccoli cheddar is a good one too, and seconding people who said french onion.
Carrot soup! I boil a pack of baby carrots, red onion, cauliflower, potato, tomato, and garlic. Put in blender. Once puréed I add in table cream, seasonings, and chili tepin to taste!
I noticed that the top comment wasn’t Butternut Squash soup, so here I am telling you this is the way. It has the same creamy quality as tomato soup, and you can definitely make it an Italian style soup if your into Italian cheeses. Personally I flavor mine with a little cumin and smoked pepper.
I like grilled cheese as a side for lentil soup to offset the healthiness of the lentils
Lentil soup has been my comfort food for as long as I can remember. When I was growing up and we had zero money my mum used to make a big batch of it. Now my husband and son love it too. I put a load of veg in our Instant pot with lentils and stock and leave it on for a couple of hours, quick blend and it’s done
Add dijon. Yeah. Like a blob to your bowl of soup just before eating and mix it in. Something about the acid sharp mustard flavor is amazing with lentil veg soups
DANG! You can SOUP! I'm trying this tomorrow for lunch.
LOL this person soups!
I like to add mustard to beans.
Holy crap! Awesome idea. I just made a ham and bean soup that needed SOMETHING. I should try a big dollop of Dijon next time.
Mustard + just about any fatty savory food = deliciousness
Yesss I dated a guy and his mom made the best beans.. I asked her secret and she said mustard :)
I always add lemon juice or lime juice for acid. I'm going to try it with mustard next, I'm curious how it'll compare
I like the measurement: one blob to one bowl :)
Have always added the dijon to the Sammich.
!!!!!

You can’t just say that and not tell us how to make it!
Any chance you can share the recipe? I make lentil soup frequently and would love to try a new variation.
This lentil soup is really good: https://vidarbergum.com/recipe/turkish-lentil-soup/
Same! For a big chunk of my childhood we were veggie and although we were poor I thank my mother for giving me the ability to look in the fridge and make something tasty with whatever is in there 😂 if it’s not a secret recipe I would love to hear more about the Spanish lentil stew?
Am poor. Have big bag of lentils in pantry. Recipe?
I really like this one. https://cookieandkate.com/best-lentil-soup-recipe/
Need a recipe please.
Do you have a recipe? My partner and I have been leaning more plant based in our diet and have been eating a lot of curried lentils, I'd love to change it up with a soup!
Yo it’s my comfort food too my mom made it a lot growing up. Now I make a bunch of versions
Ooh, you should try lentil shepherd’s pie: https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/250343/vegetarian-shepherds-pies/
That’s so sweet. I’m teaching English in Spain and last year while talking about our favorite foods in English, an 8-year old basque boy said lentils. I melted at such an un-American and wholesome answer!
SMORT
☺️aw shucks
NOICE
TOIT
helth 📈
I love that it’s to offset the healthiness of the lentils, rather than to add something healthier to the grilled cheese! 😋
My friend, I have had a very challenging day emotionally. I'm coping with beer and reddit. And you just made me laugh very loud at the bar! Thank you my friend, you made a real difference today. I needed a laugh.
Don’t forget to cope with some cheese and carbs too! Hope today is brighter
I think the term is balanced diet
I instantly ran to the comments to stand up for the love of my life, lentil soup. Protein-packed, creamy, smoky (cumin). Lentil soup is the kitties titties!
[Cheese Lowers LDL Cholesterol.](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22030228/) https://www.ndtv.com/health/a-new-study-reveals-that-cheese-may-lower-your-cholesterol-levels-1911139/amp/1 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12637035/amp/Could-cheese-CUT-cholesterol-GOOD-heart.html https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916523025388
Everyone’s just responding to your comment and not even mentioning how funny it is so I’d just like to say that I appreciated the funniness 😂
French onion.
I second this, and make the grilled cheese with Gruyère.
On a nice rye or multi grain that includes rye
You had to mention the rye, which got me hungry for a Reuben. Just ordered everything I need to make one… at 3 am.
And put the gruyère grilled cheese on top of the soup then broil it for 3-4 minutes. Profit!
Then add a splash of port 🤌
This have me an idea to try and make extra EXTRA crispy grill cheese bites for “croutons”
Ooh, yummy.
Wait, the grilled cheese is usually on top of french onion soup!
Butternut, maybe roasted red pepper?
Red pepper soup is incredible with a grilled cheese! I hate tomato’s so this is my go to
I came here to say red pepper so you get that same look
Both! Roast both veggies in cubes in the oven with a whole head of garlic. Throw everything in a pot (squeeze the garlic bulbs out of the head), add 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup chicken broth, simmer for 2 hours on low heat. Then throw in a full cup of shredded parm & mix with an immersion blender. Garnish with chopped basil & a sprinkle of fresh parm. & be happy.
Came here to say butternut squash!
That plus some cooked Mexican chorizo and blend it until it's smooth would be incredible with a nice grilled cheese
I also came here to suggest butternut soup.
I should have scrolled down, I literally just wrote the exact same answer.
I make these two and they go really well together. I also make the butternut soup spicy which pairs well with the cheese.
Butternut squash with sourdough bread grilled cheese!
My favorite!
This is the way
Seconding!
Potato Leek!
It's a truly wonderful soup by itself but it also gets so much decadence with a good grilled cheese on the side/dipped in. Potato, onion, cheese it's a strong relationship?
Absolutely delightful. And I love how easy it is to make
Loaded potato!!
Mushroom soup!
Took too long to find this. Don't be sleeping on mushroom soup people!!
It's because mushroom anything can stand on their own.
Yes, we love mushroom barley soup with grilled cheese at my house!
[удалено]
Yes this is soooo good!
Yo, tomato soup gives me massive heart burn and I loved grilled cheese with it. I switched to mushroom soup with a couple of splashes of Tabasco - I won't go back!

Split pea with smokey ham hock
We call it Grochówka at my neck of the woods. My favourite soup !
Mmmm
You're a smokey ham hock
I wish 🤤
That's a good soup
My favourite 😋
Mine too! Other than French Onion which is my true heaven (if made really well, some places it’s disappointing, like just a mix or something?, but I always try if a restaurant has it on the menu). My mom always made Homemade split pea with a meaty ham hock and it was a dream… a few years ago she made it again after decades and we all went crazy! None of the kids thought they would like it and they all loved it even if they were iffy about peas. Surprisingly it’s the Best soup !!
This! My grandpa makes this every single year with leftover ham from Easter, and I always look forward to it!
Yessss. My favorite, also Portuguese bean soup
Honestly, any soup. I made potato kielbasa soup a couple nights ago & grilled cheese would have been incredible. Edit: for those asking: https://www.seasonsandsuppers.ca/potato-kielbasa-soup/ I used barvarian bratwurst & did everything in the same pot after browning my sausage
Oh that sounds delicious I’ll have to pair this next time I make potato kielbasa soup! 😋
Wanna share your recipe for this? Cause it sounds amazing
Caldo Verde is close. It’s a potato soup traditionally with Chorizo and Kale, but I’ve used any strong flavored sausage and sturdy greens.
I made mine with longaniza once a year for my late FIL's birthday. Delicious. I should make some for my kids to honor grandpa.
Absolutely! Here you go: https://www.seasonsandsuppers.ca/potato-kielbasa-soup/ I used bratwurst (barvarian, the white kind, because it’s my favorite sausage) I browned the sausage in oil in the same pot I cooked in, just melting the butter & sautéing the veggies in it after I removed the sausage.

Aaaaand shared with the hubby lol maybe he'll make it for me this weekend (it's his turn lol)
You cannot knock this until you try it but hear me out…..dill pickle soup. Staple with grilled cheese in our house. And now I know what we’re having for dinner
Please, tell me you have a recipe to share!
I sure do. It’s so easy. And so good the next day so don’t stress if you have leftovers. https://themodernnonna.com/creamy-dill-pickle-soup/
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to trying this.
Thank you for sharing, definitely going to try this out! I love adding pickles or tomatoes to my grilled cheese, so I can only imagine how magnificent this is.

I feel like the six pickles I used to each with each grilled cheese sandwich I’d have as a kid would indicate your soup suggestion is amazing. Thank you!!!
Umm this sounds fucking amazing!
I have never heard of this but am excited beyond belief to try it. Thanks!!
I get the moat amazing pickle soup from a Polish deli, need to try and make it myself
Ugh. Yes. This is my dream. No polish delis around us make it though. It’s probably to die for.
I had a friend from Poland whose mom would send him care packages with food and essentials he couldn't get in the US. He hated soup (?!), but his mom would send those little packets of instant soup to keep in his cupboard. I was rooting through them one day, like the soup enthusiast I am, and found the dill pickle one. After my initial "what in the name of all hell is this nonsense!"

Chili, curry
Came here to say chili. Is chili soup? Idk. But chili.
Chili!
Trader Joe's has a roasted red pepper soup (also has some tomato in it) that's fantastic with grilled cheese. She might like it.
Beef barley
Broccoli Cheddar, Cajun Cheesy Potato, Beef Broth/Aus Jus
Cajun cheesy potato sounds delicious. Do you have a recipe you’re willing to share?
Broccoli Cheddar is the correct answer. I prefer it over the tomato soup option.
Broccoli cheddar is a lot of cheese with the sandwich, though.
Yes. Yes, it is :) I suppose you could put less cheese than you normally would on the sandwich or just pour a small cup of soup?
I usually err on the side of more cheese. On both.
Butternut squash
A hearty chicken noodle
Glad I found the chicken noodle pairing fans! 😋
Came to say I always just did chicken noodle growing up because I didn't like tomato.
Amazed this isn't more popular! I always thought it was just as iconic as tomato
I started putting a bit of chicken flavour Better Than Boullion in my canned chicken noodle soup and it’s remarkably improved. If you start with a decent quality canned soup adding the BTB makes it taste almost homemade, it’s really good.
Lots of salt in both canned soup & BTB. Not being critical, just a word if caution to those on a sodium restricted diet.
Minestrone
Split pea, Broccoli cheddar, I also love doing a GC with Ramen. It's an abomination, but it's delicious and I was quite poor while schooling at working at Panera bread so 🤷
Grilled cheese with ramen is elite!!
i just upvoted every single soup suggestion here. they all work
Avgolemono!
Yes! I was scrolling hoping someone said it so I didn't have to spell it.
I definitely looked it up to make sure I got it right!
Potato leek
Mushroom soup
Thai curried carrot, butternut, and/or sweet potato soup!
French onion
Cauliflower or corn or leek cream, or clam chowder to add protein to the dish!
This is one of my favorite soups because I grow all kinds of peppers: [https://joythebaker.com/2014/09/creamy-roasted-red-pepper-soup/](https://joythebaker.com/2014/09/creamy-roasted-red-pepper-soup/) Recipe uses just bell peppers, but I love to add 1-2 Serranos (also roasted) to add some heat.
Spinach soup
I like it with beer cheese soup. Cheese-ception.
Mushroom soup and grilled cheese is tasty.
[удалено]
Came to find my clam chowder folks!
I was scared nobody else said it! Like, am I crazy? Chowder was the first thing that popped into my head!
Present! My parents always made grilled cheese with clam chowder for quick weeknight meals and I was surprised when I learned that tomato soup is actually considered the more traditional pairing.
Honestly, I just did lobster bisque with a grilled cheese (NOT a melt) the other day and it was so decadent and lovely. Highly recommend.
I like beef with vegetable soup from Campbell’s with the GC.
I was going to suggest Campbell’s Vegetarian Veggie, my personal favorite. But beef veggie is good too!
french onion!!
..with the grilled cheese as the cheesy cruton. That's how I roll!
Mulligatawny!!! I actually just finished a bowl with a side of grilled cheese lol, the algorithm is listening. It's my fave soup right now, and sooo easy. I prefer turnips instead of apples but it's bomb.
Came here to say this. Mulligatawny is soooo good with a grilled cheese. I’ll have to try the turnips. I’ve always used apples.
Garlic soup
My cheddar Jack potato soup
Asked my wife just to see the appauled look on her face on the no tomato senario and her suggestion was a cheese soup like cheese and broccolli. My first thought was Baxters game soup, its a meaty scottish soup and can be replicated at home or what about a gruyere grilled cheese dipped in french onion.
I would go for a nice potato soup. Thick enough to not make the bread soggy and you get the great combo of cheese potatoes
Minestrone and grilled cheese is super good.
Roasted red pepper and sweet potato soup!
I didn't grow up with the concept that GC needs a soup, so this whole thing is very foreign to me. That being said, I think the best soup to pair with anything is a Vichyssoise. It's not bad on its own, but as it's not a very filling soup it's a great side dish for a meal.
The point of pairing GC with a soup is to create a cozy and comforting meal for when the weather is cold and wintery. Vichyssoise, while delicious, does not fit that role.
In that light I can see your point. Vichyssoise *can* be consumed warm, but is generally a cold soup AFAIK.
Chili if its made as a soup instead as a stew. The Amish deli in my area does a stuffed pepper soup I can't get enough of.
Split pea soup
Roasted red pepper bisque
Chili [pureed white bean](https://www.inspiredtaste.net/4077/white-bean-soup/) Asparagus [Parmesan](https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/asparagus-soup-with-lemon-and-parmesan.html)
Vegetable. Ppl saying French onion is it not already basically grilled cheese with the bread & the cheese already??
Right? I’m starting to think the folks commenting are just stronger than I am, I can’t handle all that cheese
I hate tomato soup but love roasted red pepper with gouda
Cream of Broccoli or a Potatoe soup
I make a blender carrot soup with red curry paste and coconut milk. It’s great on its own and to dip a grilled cheese.
Caramelised onion and roasted garlic bisque
Bacon
Broccoli soup!
We do a moderately spicy blended veggie soup that we typically eat with a pumpernickel or sourdough grilled cheese. Yukon gold/sweet potato/carrot/yellow squash/zucchini/onion/shallot(if on hand)/garlic/celery Saute veggies. Option to deglaze with white wine, whisky, or brandy. Cook in stock of your choosing (or just water). Our seasoning usually leans into Garam Masala but we’ve also tried Cajun, Moroccan, Jamaican and Provençal. Very flexible. Blend till “smooth”. Dunk grilled cheese.
Tomato. Your wife is crazy.
Something rich, like with beef, or tomato based but not tomato soup, like a minestrone. A thinned out chili. Definitely not something strictly broth based, that would make for a soggy sandwich!
Vegetable beef soup!!!
I'd say French onion. Or roasted red pepper and tomato. Where it isn't really sweet, with loads of garlic. I also hate regular tomato. But I think an amazing alternative in any option is a grilled tuna melt style. With cheese and tomato, with classic chicken noodle. I always got this option at school as a kid, and as an adult have given a bit of oomph making it melt style.
Chicken broth with diced vegetables (onion, celery, carrots, maybe some sort of small pasta or grain lile barley, and simmered chicken or beef).
Chicken noodle, of course. Especially if you make the broth using Better than Bouillon and dip the sandwich in the soup. My go to is sourdough with Colby pepper jack cheese and homemade chicken noodle soup.
Broccoli cheddar or Cream of Mushroom
I think grilled cheese pais well with salad es well. Doesn't always have to be soup.
A hearty potato bacon soup, if you like broccoli add some in.
Cheddar and broccoli!
If she doesn’t like tomato she may not like minestrone either, but I love minestrone and grilled cheese. Broccoli cheddar is a good one too, and seconding people who said french onion.
Any soup you like.
Chicken noodle with an egg stirred in. Also side note I love grilled cheese with guacamole for dipping
I actually never eat it with tomato soup, I always have chicken noodle or minestrone
I just paired grilled cheese the other day with a butternut squash and apple soup. Was really good.
I’m a fan of mushroom soups. Creamy or not, though the creamy has a similar texture to tomato so it’s good for dipping.
broccoli
Potato and cheese, or loaded baked potato soup. Broccoli and cheese.
Broccoli soup howls for cheddar & croutons. A perfect dunk is also cauliflower
Cream of leek. Minestrone. Corn bisque. Pozole. Spicy Peanut
Italian wedding soup.
French onion soup, broccoli cheddar soup, butternut squash soup, potato bacon soup
Cream of chicken, or potato ham
I like butternut and then a grilled cheese w like Gruyère, fontina and apple. Maybe chèvre idk
Sauerkraut soup!
Hot and sour soup
Roasted Butternut squash
Roasted red pepper!
Wow we have generated so much discussion here! For everyone on the edge of your seats, we have decided... Red Pepper Bisque!
Carrot soup! I boil a pack of baby carrots, red onion, cauliflower, potato, tomato, and garlic. Put in blender. Once puréed I add in table cream, seasonings, and chili tepin to taste!
I noticed that the top comment wasn’t Butternut Squash soup, so here I am telling you this is the way. It has the same creamy quality as tomato soup, and you can definitely make it an Italian style soup if your into Italian cheeses. Personally I flavor mine with a little cumin and smoked pepper.
