Thanksgiving Soups

This Thanksgiving I'm in charge of the soup course, but I am feeling sooo uninspired. The only recipe that has caught my eye is one on epicurious for Creamy Fennel & Potato soup. Anyone care to share their Thanksgiving soup recipes?

Wild Mushroom soup has become our Thanksgiving tradition. I'm making it for 15 this year. I had to buy a bigger pot!

This one with some minor customizations....

This year I'm making a roasted orange cauliflower and apple soup with a sage cream and aged cheddar cheese tuiles.

In previous years, I have made a sweet potato-chipotle soup with maple creme fraiche as well as a tri-color roasted cauliflower soup.

Of course I don't have recipes for them because I never used to write things down, but Gourmet and Food and Wine have some good recipes for soups.

I love love love cauliflower soup.

In the past I have made the family italian soup. Chicken, escarole with minin meatballs and pasta. Some call it italian wedding soup, we just called it holiday soup.

We don't usually do soup at Thanksgiving, but several years ago my sister brought one because she wanted use her soup tureen. She made Oyster Rockefeller Soup and it was really good, but rich! I thought it was from a mag, but this one sounds just like it: Oyster Rockefeller Soup

how did i forget about cream of 'shroom?? right now i think that's at the top of my list!!

cauliflower sounds really good too, but i think we're having roasted cauliflower as a side so that might be a little too much.

and my mom doesn't like oyster fockefeller so thats out. the first time she ever tried oysters was when she was a little girl and her papa made some fried ones for dinner, to be had with a glass of milk. mom ate a fried oyster and then a sip of milk - but the milk was sour so she threw up everywhere. to this day she still associates oysters with sour milk!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Italian wedding soup. I could mainline the stuff with a horse syringe.

This year I'm gonna make a fennel and roast chestnut soup, and garniksh it with some black pepper roased pear creme fraiche, some arugula oil and smoked trout roe, maybe make some kind of tuile to go with it.

I am not an Oyster fan either, but that soup was delicious! Just briny, creamy good. I think she chopped the oysters up, which helped me.

Seyo, your soup sounds incredible. You are invited to my Thanksgiving dinner.

This "Silky-Coconut Pumpkin Soup" may sound a touch too exotic for most people's Thanksgiving table. However, I've served this to rather fussy and non-adventurous eaters at holidays and also served as soup "shots" at cocktail parties. It's gorgeous, comforting, and goes down oh so easy!

thank you! i decided to go all out this year. I hope everything turns out as deliciously in reality as it sounds in words...

A few years ago I did roasted butternut squash soup with bacon, apple & sage - it was a big hit. I diced bacon & rendered the fat, removed the bacon and then cooked onion in the bacon drippings - add cubed, roasted butternut squash, diced apple, chicken broth and fresh sage. Soup was pureed and topped with the reserved bacon, and more diced apple and fresh sage.

One year, I made a celery and Stilton cheese soup that was mighty tasty. I believe the recipe was from the book How to Peel a Peach.

one of my favorites is cream of carrot soup with thyme, garnished with a dollop of creme fraiche or cream and a few fresh thyme leaves. you could easily add parsnips or leeks as well.
