IT’S NOT AT ALL SOUP SEASON, MOTHERFUCKERS, AND YET IT IS ALWAYS SOUP SEASON, MOTHERFUCKERS

My viral soup post hasn’t gotten reblogged in a while and needed to be updated, and @redheadmystic asked me about it today, so here’s a brand-new master post of soups, including most of the ones that were on the list before, as well as some newer favorites. I’ve made many more soups than just this list over the past year, but these selections are my very tip-top, most enthusiastically-recommended picks.

Chef Michael Smith’s Thai Coconut (Red Curry) Soup with Chicken & Noodles 

Not A Curry’s Thai Coconut (Green Curry) Shrimp Noodle Soup with Tofu

Nigella Lawson’s Cold Cure Soup (onion, orange, lime, ginger, cinnamon, chicken: your house will smell like heaven)

BA’s Chicken Khao Soi (very rich; will stick to your ribs)

BA’s Tom Ka Gai (if you can find galangal, it makes this soup)

Ellie Krieger’s Savory Carrot Cashew Soup (healthy & vegetarian)

my recipe for Pasta e Fagioli

my recipe for Creamy Spring Onion, Pea, and Zucchini Soup (easiest imaginable prep)

Victoria Granof’s Pasta con Ceci (sometimes I like it thick, more like a pasta dish, and sometimes I add more water and loosen it up because I want it brothier, like a soup)

my adapted version of Caldo Xóchitl(-ish)

Smitten Kitchen’s 44-Clove Garlic Soup (don’t be afraid of the number; it’s surprisingly refined and understated)

Yvette Van Boven’s Daube Provençal (stew beef marinated in, then simmered with orange, olives, and a whole bottle of Côtes du Rhône)

BA’s Poached Cod with Tomato & Saffron (note: I double all the ingredients but the fish, and add olives and capers, to make this more like a stew than a poach)

America’s Test Kitchen’s brilliant Creamy Cauliflower Soup (nearly dairy free, but super creamy)

my own recipe for Vichyssoise, adapted from a 1962 recipe in Gourmet

Alison Roman’s Spicy Noodle Soup with Mushrooms & Herbs (vegan)

Sue Li’s Lemony Shrimp & Bean Stew

Colu Henry’s Roasted Tomato & White Bean Stew

Kay Chun’s Hot and Sour Dumpling Soup

Eric Kim’s Cornish Game Hen Soup with Garlic, Ginger, and Fried Shallots

With Spice’s Cabbage, Onion, and Farro Soup

Veselka’s Cabbage, Sauerkraut, and Pork Soup

Classic Billi Bi (an elegant, wine-y, old-school cream of mussels soup)

Julia Turshen’s Chicken Tortilla Soup with the Works (requires a huge pot and an entire afternoon. Worth it.)

Elaine Louie’s completely brilliant Miso French Onion Soup (vegan if you leave out the melted cheese at the end)

the theme that always resonates me the most in stories is “the world is cruel; therefore I won’t be.”

Flour Is Firm

BY SANDRA BEASLEY

The Traveler’s Vade Mecum, line 4234

Baking two parts flour to one part water

could stop a bullet. So good soldiers

carried their hardtack over their hearts.

Break it down with a rifle butt, flood it,

fry it in pig fat to make hellfire stew.

Gnaw it raw and praise the juice.

Does wheat prepare for this as it grows,

seeking the light in a half-thawed field?

Do stalks know their strength is merely

in their number? What is ground down

we name flour in promise that it will be

made useful. Otherwise, it’s just dust.

Sheet iron crackers.

Teeth-dullers.

Would you call it starving, if a man dies

with hardtack still tucked in his pocket?

Can you call it food, if the bullet comes only

at the moment he gives in and swallows?
