I pretty much like all hot soups, they are quick, easy and versatile.
I've had some cold ones, but not until I was older, the flavor was fine but I don't feel the soupy texture and cool temp go well together.
Hope everyone is doing well! Thanks for all the cafes lately @Angie hugs!

Homemade chicken and dumplings has always been one of my favorite soup.

I thought everyone was talking about the goldfish crackers being added into the soup bowl, lol. Thanks for the picture. Didn't they have alphabet noodle soup back in the 60 or 70's?

Ya, they did. From Campbell's, I belive.

Chicken and dumplings is another great one. I will fix it when family will visit. Not the best of a leftovers meal so I like a few extra mouths before putting in the effort.

Chicken and dumplings... around here some folks use ready made biscuits for the dumplings, I prefer the "real" dumplings although I've never tried to make "real" dumplings.

Which do you do?

make real dumplings. Also called knaidlich. These are small, dropped off the end of a spoon when the soup is done and cook in just a few minutes. Great in chicken, split pea soup, and brown Lima bean soups

Main ingredients here, lard and flour, also great for biscuits, dough for crusts along with frying. I always liked how Jerry Clower described making biscuits, done it this way all my life. Some of my earliest memories and more so as I got older was my grandmother teaching me to cook all sorts of things. The tube biscuits are like canned soup, fine from time to time for convenience, but otherwise not for me.
