In anticipation of the weather turning cooler, it's time to talk soup!

Really, I just made this thread to harvest ideas for the coming months, but hey, why not make this just a general soup thread?

To start, what is your favorite soup? Do you have a recipe for it?

I'm super into pho, and now that I work from home most of the week, I'm excited to just have a pot simmering all day! No particular recipe I follow for it, but I can find a few good ones that serve as a general guide for me when I do it.

        Creamy Poblano Soup

        1 large onion, chopped

        2 tbsp unsalted butter

        3 cups chicken stock

        1oz cream cheese, sliced

        3 poblanos, roasted seeded and chopped (minimum 3, go hard)

        1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt

        crumbled queso blanco and lime wedges for garnish

        1 - Cook onion in butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until soft but not browned.

        2 - Add chicken stock and cream cheese, stir until stock is hot and cheese is melted.

        3 - Cool, then puree with roasted poblanos in a food processor, blender, or with immersion blender.

        4 - Return soup to pot, add sour cream, yogurt and heat through but do not boil.

        5 - Serve hot or chilled, garnished with queso fresco and lime wedges.

        I think the vegan alternatives use vegan butter for the butter and blended nuts to replace the cream cheese and sour cream/yogurt, and of course veggie stock for the chicken stock. Do a few small crispy tacos or quesadillas to dip in there, too.

        edit: I copied this out from the recipe I use and forgot to mention that beyond going hard on the poblanos, you can use other peppers too. I use jalapenos, serranos, and anaheims in addition, depending on what's in the fridge.
