[rec.food.recipes] REQUEST: Quick Vegetable-based soups

cbas46@vaxa.strath.ac.uk (01/12/91)

Greetings all you budding cooks.

I know this is a pretty vague request, but does anyone have any
particularly good recipes for soups (preferably under 1 hour cooking
time)?

Although I am not a strict vegetarian, I do prefer soups based on
vegetables, lentils and other pulses, but frequently throw in some
diced ham or chicken for good measure!

As a victim of the cold weather in Scotland, I have been experimenting
with various recipes for "warming soups", but without too much success.
No matter how closely I stick to the recipe, my lentil soup always ends
up more like mushy lentils in hot water!  Sometimes I feel like
resorting to my old habit of just buying tins of the stuff.

Anyway, I would welcome any recipe suggestions for tasty, delicious,
winter-warming soups to try my hand at.

Cheers,

       Corina.
