>depends on what you count as cooking
processing ingredients into more enjoyable/edible forms through some chemical/physical process.

Humanities oldest recognizable meal was probably roast game with roasted nuts.

While I love making stews (are they soups??) I most regularly make your basic chicken noodle after I roast a chicken
>boil carcass for stock
>use leftover meat in the soup
>add whatever you want
>eat delicious soup for a few days
Buying whole chickens is really the best use of your time and money

spicy blackbean
I like it a little thick so I can eat it with tortillas.

my favorite thin soup is miso.

Miso is pretty good, but if I’m going for a thicker soup I do like the classic pea soup with bacon and carrots for a nice addition

a challenger appears

this is my favorite soup but its more of a stew

Some SOUP for thought

never tried a pea soup, have a bag of frozen peas I've been wanting to get rid of though so maybe tomorrow... should it be sweeter or savory?

Fuck you

>may
>could have
>if

dropped

is that a huevo?

Pea soup is definitely a savory, but I’ve only ever known pea soup to be made from dried split peas, a lot like lentil soups. You might be able to find a recipe that uses frozen peas but if all else frozen peas go awesome in stew.

google just found a recipe from that barefoot contessa bitch that uses frozen peas. I'll probably try it tomorrow

is hummus a soup

I agree. Soup and stew are the comfiest kinds of food

here's how i maek it
>put pot on heat with a little oil
>chop an onion
>put it in the pot
>lower heat
>close the lid
>leave to steam
>chop a carrot
>peel&chop potatoes
>chop garlic
>put it all in
>barely cover with water
>leave to boil a bit

Is hoppin' john a soup? My mom always made it soup style for New Year's Day, but it appears that others eat it over rice. It lives as a soup in my mind but now I'm unsure.

if you serve it with its pot liquor, sure.

I've been eating very little for the past week and can't eat anything at all today because my gut and bowels need to be empty in preparation for getting a scan to check for cancer tomorrow.
I want to ease back into eating with a nice, tasty soup, what should I make?

I’ve never heard of that soup

Chicken noodle is definitely a classic but try bone broths. You can pick them up at the store, only downside is it’s kind of like drinking a vitamin

hopin john is just blackeyed peas boiled with various other veggies, usually greenbeans or onions.

Get on it lad, only way to have luck in the new year
>dat ham hock

I was thinking of some kind of tomato chili soup, but maybe I'll just go the simple route with chicken noodle.

what is the inverted skull of your defeated enemies?

Stoneware is so stupidly simple to make. You literally just need clay.

Soup is how I make the best of vegetables that have past its peak freshness before they go bad. Cheap, filling, and cuts down on my food waste.

Have a żurek

God damn, that looks mouthwatering.

eww who shit in the bread

Try flaczki, if żurek is too ugly for your delicate eyes.

if your shit looks like that, get help

fun fact
people had fire for 500 000 years before they started using it to cook

but i don't shit in bread

Sopa de feijoes e verme, uma delícia.

SOPA DE MACACO

Not if swadia has anything to say about it

How long do you boil your carcass for? I usually do it for an hour or so but I think I might go longer, maybe 2-3 hour region

Another fun fact:
cooking is a form of predigestion that allowed us to evolve at a exponentially faster rate

My minestrone soup that isn't just a bunch of shitty starches:
>2 tbls olive oil
>white onion
>3 cloves garlic
>2 carrots
>vegetable/chicken stock- 2 cartons or so
>kale
>1/4 cup or less of tomato paste
>1 can kidney beans
>zuchini
>yellow squash
>1 tsp Italian seasoning
>cheese tortellini

Chop garlic, onion, and carrots and heat in olive oil to soften. Add stock and Italian seasoning, bring to boil then reduce to low boil/hard simmer until carrots soften a little, then add chopped kale and repeat. Once kale and carrots are mostly cooked, add tomato paste, zucchini, squash, and kidney beans. Add cheese tortellini or boil separately. Once everything is cooked through, salt and peeper to taste; sometimes I add a little bit of cayenne pepper. Zucchini and squash cook pretty fast and will fall apart in the soup so watch it carefully. You can sub kale for spinach

>not getting your New Year luck from Pork and Sauerkraut like any self-respecting Pennsylvania Dutchman

As far as soups though, PA Dutch ham and bean soup is the tits, and you can make it evertimr you bake a ban or whatever

I'll post the recipe when I get home from work if this thread is still up

Ham*

I've been doing one soup dinner per week since winter started, never did the same soup twice.
There are just so many different ones you cant get tired of soup and it warms you up without being overly starchy and full of fat like other typical winter comfort foods.

Still my favorite is squash soup with curry&coconut milk. Might do that one again before winter ends.

poking a stick through a hunk of meat is even easier m8

>My minestrone soup that isn't just a bunch of shitty starches
then it's not minestrone.

The entire point of minestrone is to get rid of kitchen scraps. It's the plebest tier of soup.

i thought that was what perpetual stew is
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_stew

For me, it's the french onion soup.
So easy to make that a toddler could do it and it tastes amazing to boot.
