I have been known to call soup my favorite food group. I love, love, love soup! I love all different types of soups. I guess stew-y soups would be my favorite--veggie stew, chili, chicken and dumplings, beef and noodles--but I also love broth-y soups like spicy beef pho and wonton soup.
My soup secret (well, stolen from my mother) is to put a can of creamed corn in chowders and stews. It makes them at least 20% better.
