I mix soups and they're heaven. Sometimes even 3 or more. Usually we do two. But the more the better

We eat about 6 qt soup per meal or more so I need a lot.
I made a variety and defrosted one a night.

My family complained…why do we have to be so gourmet.

Did same soups all 3 sets of days

Meat split pea
Cream of chicken soup
Chicken soup

Honestly they like the soups I made. I think they just want to make my life easier by serving one type.


6 quarts of soup per meal??!! How many people are you feeding?

Shabbos and yt it's only chicken soup or cream of chicken. Even during the week they can request chicken soup. I'm a chicken soup girl all the way. Serve me a bowl any time any day and I'll be your best friend.

Sukkot is still hot here, and many stairs are involved in reaching our sukkah on yom tov, so we seldom serve soup on Sukkot.

During the rest of the year we sometimes serve soup, sometimes not, and we make all kinds.

Shabbos and YT is strictly chicken soup. I only serve soup at the night meals and for Sukkos I plan to only serve the first night and Friday night. The second night can be a different appetizer. Although for my family it must be chicken soup , no other
Soup, on Shabbos , during the week they will happily eat other soups - chunky vegetable, butternut squash, mushroom, minestrone but are also very happy if I serve chic soup for a weeknight supper too Smile

As a rule, I make chicken soup twice a year: Rosh Hashana and Pesach. Sometimes I'll make it once or even twice more in the winter, if someone in the family is feeling coldy.
We have soup as a first course every Friday night, even in the summer, but I rotate them.
I have a repertoire of like a dozen soups.
For Succot I generally make the hearty soups that we take a break from during the hot summer, cause it's usually quite chilly outside in the succa, where we live, near Jerusalem. My usual Succot soups are mushroom barley, red lentil and kubbe chamusta soup.
I never serve chicken soup before Yom Kippur. I find it makes me very thirsty, even when it's not that salty. I don't know why.
This year I'll be serving pureed pumpkin/sweet potato/ carrot soup before the fast. It has lots of complex carbs and potassium so that should help with the fasting.

Shabbos is always chicken soup but YT varies. It's basically tradition in our house to have mushroom barley soup on Sukkos.

IF I even serve soup, it will be gazpacho. Nobody wants to eat hot soup in the sukkah when it's 85 degrees out. (I'm in SoFla).

Chicken soup first night and Friday night. If we serve soups during the day it’s something else, but only if it’s really cold.

Chicken soup is the easiest because everyone in my family loves it.
I do get bored of it during Tishrei so sometimes I make another option but ya, were chicken soup people.

My family will eat anything. My mom served only chicken soup on Shabbat and YT, anything else was vochedik. I still view soups like split pea, mushroom barley and tomato as vochedik because they were weekday soups when I was growing up. Manischewitz sold them in cans, and anything canned was vochedik. And since my dad lived on beans all week when he was growing up, anything with beans was not Shabbosdik. I never saw cholent till I was in grade school and started going to friends for Shabbat. I will not make split pea or barley soup for Shabbat, but if I happen to have some cooked barley, I will throw it in chicken soup as an add-in, like noodles or rice, but not as a main ingredient. I keep the soup on the blech Friday through Shabbat lunch, so starch-based varieties are not the best idea. Broth-based soups are a better bet.

But as I said, we eat anything. If I go to your house for Shabbat and you serve split pea soup with sliced hot dogs in it--a very vochedik combo in my book--I will eat it. I just won't make it myself except for a weeknight.

We have chicken soup almost every Friday night, but not on yom tov. Usually yom tov night I'll do a blended vegetable soup with kneidlach.
