This Saturday we're going to a fall party and we are supposed to bring a homemade soup. I have noooo clue what to bring. I love all soups. I would really like to do something that isn't as traditional (chicken noodle, etc.) but I don't want it to be too out there for everyone.
Any suggestions? Or favorite soup recipes?

@CanadianMermaid:Mmmmm that's a really good idea, I hadn't thought of that one!

White Chicken Chili: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/cha-chas-white-chicken-chili/detail.aspx
Gumbo: I don't know of a good online recipe for this (DH's and my recipe is in one of his New Orleans cookbooks) but I'm sure you could find one.
@Running Elley: Its one of those soups I never make but I am always happy when it is served or an option at a restaurant
I'm making Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana soup this weekend its delicious and pretty easy! I also love Chicken Tortilla which was suggested.
We do a loaded potato soup which is easy and inexpensive. Or there is also broccoli and cheddar. Methinks we linke cheese in my house...lol.
@Storm0075: Those are two I almost suggested too, great fall soups!
Now I'm craving homemade soup! Maybe tomorrow.....
My two favorite soups ever, homemade or not, are clam chowder and creamy broccoli. Or cheesy broccoli is good too. And potato and bacon. Haha. I like chicken noodle but you're right, it is sort of boring and common.
Baked potato soup! I love it - and its very fall/comfort food!

May have to make this myself this weekend with some homemade applesauce on the side!
Thanks for all the great suggestions!! I'm definitely feeling a lot more inspired now :) Keep them coming!
I made this sweet potato soup last weekend. It's perfect for fall! Sweet and savory and the cinnamon and nutmeg make it amazing!

Chicken noodle soup
Chili (Pick one, they are all good)
Split pea (with all the fixins)
Corn chowder (Ina Garten's recipe)
Ooh, cheesy potato sounds good. And chicken and rice. Now I'm craving soup, lol. Too bad I don't have the ingredients.
I make a nice ginger carrot soup and it is supper easy! I can type out the recipe if you would like it.
@mwitter80:Oh we just bought a lot of sweet potatoes and I am on a complete sweet potato kick lately!
chicken tortilla is one of my favorites.
i have to say that white chicken chili is ALWAYS a hit. at my house we top it with mozzerella cheese, diced tomatoes and avacado. it is TO DIE FOR!
Mmmmm, chicken soup is my fav. Anyways, my sister made potato leek soup once and it was seriously to die for.
California cheese soup is definitely one of my favorites. I also like our crazy-hot all-bean chili.
Pumpkin, chicken, carrot and coriander. Broccoli and stilton is amazing, no clue how to make it though.
@Running Elley: I am adicted to sweet potatoes. I make so much stuff with them, scalloped spicy sp's, sweet potato and goat cheese raviloli, sp gnochi, and I made my first sp pie and it's all I can think about lol.
Sausage and Lentil soup which I'm making right now!! It tastes just like Carabba's if you have ever had theirs...here's the recipe!

Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo is delicioushttp://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/gumbo-recipe/index.html
PA Dutch Chicken Pot Pie is my absolute favorite! It's actually a stew and I make my own noodles (super easy). I'm making it Sunday when our Church Home Group comes over. It's not quite chicken noodle and is just so cozy!http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art6854.asp
I make good veggie chili, it would be a big hit at a party to bring a veg option
sautee up some mushrooms, onions and one cubed sweet potato
add one chopped jalapeno
add two cans of diced tomatos, 3 cans of beans with liquid and one beer
let the alcohol cook off and the sweet potato get soft (I also add TVP - textured vegetable protein)
Add about 1 cup of frozen corn
then I add 1 can tomato paste, one can of veg refried beans to thicken it up
season with plenty of cumin, smoked paprika, 1 TBS cocoa, some brown sugar (I usually do like a teaspoon or 2), garlic, chili powder, oregano, salt pepper etc. however you like it seasoned.
DH eats meat but he won't even let me make regular chili because he says its so greasy compared to this which has more flavor. I serve it with cut up avocado, sour cream, salsa, and DH's favorite hot sauce.
Let us know what you make and how it comes out!
coconut carrot ginger!!!! So easy and so delicious!

If you like sweet potatoes, try Martha Stewart's lentil and sweet potato stew. I make it in big batches for the freezer. It's really chunky and hearty.

Butternut squash soup is also really easy, and all of my family love it. I started with this Chow Vegan recipe, but have tweaked it since. I make mine with coconut milk instead of silken tofu, and use liquid veg stock instead of bullion.

This is DH's favorite: http://www.food.com/recipe/west-african-peanut-soup-134219
It does have peanut butter in it, though, so it wouldn't be good for anyone with allergies.
My personal favorite is a butternut squash soup. We served it at our wedding last October and it screams Fall! at me.
Matzah Ball! It may be too close to your average chicken noodle... but it's very easy and soooo delish!
You just boil some chicken, add the veggies (carrots, celery, and onions) and add the matzah balls, we just use it from the box in the "ethnic" section at the grocery section along with the soup mix. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes, I usually let it sit there all day and serve it the next day. I also like to add some egg noodles and serve with challah. Yum!
Seeing all of these yummy sounding soups has me wanting to make them all!
My family likes a potato soup that has green beans, bacon, and onion in it.
I have a recipe for a Roasted Butternut Squash soup. It's extremely yummy and perfect for this weather. Roasting the Butternut Squash and Carrots gives it an extra dimension of flavor. I have to dig it up somehwere!
Aha! Found it! I made modifications to the recipe as I do with all:
I
roasted all the vegetables first, to add an additional dimension of flavor, added a bit of heavy cream, and finally some citrus to punch it up a bit. It turned out beautifully! I thought it was delicious and unusual!1 acorn squash cut in half, seeded
You must first roast your vegetables, place them on a heavy sheet pan and drizzle with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper and thyme and toss.
Roast at 385 degrees for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally (I had to do it in 2 batches)
Remove and let cool, you can then dig the pulp out of the the Acorn squash and put it directly into the soup pot with the remaining roasted vegetables.
Add the broth and the can of water, and the spices, go easy at first you can add more later
Puree in a blender our use your handy immersion blender, heat soup up to serving temperature
Add your orange juice and heavy cream, taste and re-season as you like. I am a huge fan of ginger and nutmeg so I added more.
I love Chilli and I have great copycat of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana that I posted on the last soup thread.
I just posted this in another thread!:

Chicken tortilla for me too! I started adding plantains and sweet potatoes.... soo good and hearty!

Also, this crock pot cheesy potato soup is really good!
