any other soup besides chicken, I usually make soup during week, freeze 1 container, and then ill rotate and take it out a diffrent soup for friday night
some of the soups I make are;
asparagus
bean
veg.
squash/pot.
celery
and what ever else I make

any soup should work. I like smooth pureed soups because they are more elegant and you can leave them on the blechor in slow cooker till shabos lunch very successfully.

I make carrot soup or squash soup.

there is a wonderful meatball soup in kosher by design (original) that my family loves friday night... it's almost a whole meal in and of itself

We only make chicken soup now since that's all the kids eat, but we used to make plenty of soups for Shabbos.

Pea soup with Knaidles
Mushroom barley soup
butternut squash soup
vegetable soup
meat soup

I found that they all went over well with company. In particular the mushroom barley was always a crowd pleaser since it's filling and not the usual.

Mushroom barley meat
Cabbage soup

Butternut squash is the rage but not everyone likes it. I make it a bit during the week for the kids after school.

I make a version of Moroccan harira soup with lentils and ground meat that is absolutely divine.
If you add barley and white beans to your chicken soup it becomes really thick and rich.
In the summer I often serve pureed soups that can be eaten hot on Friday night and are amazing cold on Shabbos day like butternut squash, carrot, vichysoise, or zucchini.

My mom used to make an AWESOME really thick pea soup. It was so yummy and so filling - we also had meat kreplach in it and a splash of Frank's Red Hot or Garlic Tabasco....mmmmmm Razz

We also had a meat mushroom barley soup when we ate out once and THAT was incredible. It wasn't the typical chicken soup and not the typical mushroom barley soup. Yum.

My husband is the Shabbos cook in our house (I work outside the home; he works from home and he's a much better cook than I am anyway) and he makes a super-easy soup for Friday night that my kids love - a pareve creamed corn soup. It's a couple of cans of creamed corn, a carton of plain soy milk, and spices to taste (usually just pepper). Not fancy enough for guests, maybe, but good for the family.

Don't know how to spell it. "Shurbah" is it's name. Smile

Chicken wings - skinned
1/2 C. rice
Water
Salt

Bring to boil and cook for a few hrs.
Needs to stay boiling or it won't come out white and creamy-ish.
Mix every so often!

Heaven!!!
