This one is an absolute no brainer. I am a software programmer and fortunate enough to work for a company that allows me to work from home, I try my best to make a point of living in a different city every year, I pack light and go. I've gone from southern cali, mid-west to the east coast and NOTHING compares to the mexican food in San Diego! Travel just 60 miles up the coast to Los Angeles and the difference is night and day, doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same category. San Diego is on the border of Mexico, and the mexican food gets exponentially worse the farther you get from it. Ask anyone who has actually tried mexican food in mulitple cities, I will guarantee the same response, San Diego hands down. Anyone who calls them nachos instead of carne asada chips, or taquitos instead of rolled tacos can automatically be discredited in this discussion. Those of you who have lived in San Diego will know what I mean.

I love vegetable stew!

I love minestrone soup with garlic breadsticks.. MM! I could eat that every.single.day!

I'm a simple kind of lady, so my favorite soup is homemade chicken noodle. I like to make it with escarole and egg noodles. It's just so delicious.

homemade soups, starting with meat bones and ending with seasonal vegetables....the best! takes hours to simmer on the stove...but the end results are used in so many meals...the simplest being laddled into a big bowl and with a crusty bread on the side.

Wild rice soup. A thick, creamy base with vegetables and chicken added. Top with parmesan cheese and homemade croutons.

My favorite meal worthy soup would be homemade bean soup with ham and bacon in it. I make it with a ham bone and let it simmer for about 3 hours. Very tasty and filling. I also like my mom's homemade vegetable soup with fresh veggies from the garden! Mmm good!

My Momma liked to make big ol pots of soups and stews. All us kids and our kids would come over and eat. Sometimes she'd be creative and add different things. My Daddy would smell it and come in and ask what she was cooking. She would tell him she was making "stuff". It was funny. She was a great cook.

Minestrone :)

My fav. meal worth soup is a big bowl of old fashioned home made chicken stew with veggies

I love to make a Korean soup made with fresh chicken cooked in water and spiced with plenty of grated fresh ginger. The chicken is shredded, and a cup or two of cooked rice is added to the broth and cooked until the soup has the consistency of "chowder." Serve in Oriental bowls and garnished with sliced green onions and Korean sesame salt. Delish, and very healing if you are suffering from respiratory "flu."

I'd have to say Split Pea and Lobster Bisque, my favorites! Thank you!

We make a mean minestrone!
