Soup recipes

What's your favourite easy soup recipe?  I'm tucking into a bowl of tattie soup, real soul food and so easy!  I just heat some oil, chuck in a few chopped onions, a couple of chopped carrots and a ton of tattie chunks, salt and pepper liberally added and boil for ages.  More like a stew really, but needs no stock so 100% veggie, cheap, quick and dead healthy.

I'd love to know more basic quick soup recipes .... drool

not really a soup but I chop veggies quite small (carrots, cauliflower and green beans) and chuck in a load of stock and cook till the veggies are done

the easiest must be cream of mushroom soup .
exactly the same as mushroom sauce ( only a little thinner )
saute onions , add mushrooms ,cook for about 3 or 4 mins ,
add flour ( to form your roux ). cook on for another 3 or 4 mins
and add your hot milk , a bit at a time until it looks right .
add cream to finnish & plenty of seasoning ( white pepper works best )........yum..yum
substitute the mushrooms for celery and its cream of celery soup !!!!!!!!!!

I love this soup and it's so easy to make:

Red Lentil and Carrot Soup

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, diced
1 bay leaf
500 ml (18 fl oz) hot vegetable stock made with a stock cube
100g (3oz) red lentils, washed

Heat the oil and fry the onion, carrot and bay leaf for a few minutes. Stire in the hot vegetable stock with the lentils, return to the boil, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the lentils are soft and mushy. Stir well and either mash the lentils a little with a large spoon (or, what I do, bung it in the blender).
