Which bowl deserves the title of greatest soup/stew of all time?

[7Phoenix7]

Made a big pot of homemade pozole last night just so I could enjoy it today… and of course the rain decided to show up right on time. Something about a slow-cooked soup on a gloomy day just feels like therapy in a bowl 🥣…

🍲

The smell of pozole simmering overnight should be bottled and sold as comfort nostalgia lol…

[MrChinaski]

Damn that looks good. I can practically smell it from here. Well done.

My two favourites to cook are

Navarin d'Agneau (Lamb with Spring Vegetables). Carrots, peas, spring onions, leeks/rampss, turnips, potatoes, the whole disaster. Credit Thomas Keller, Bouchon.

Asian-Style Beef Stew. Light soy, ginger, star anise, mandarin peel, shiitake mushrooms, etc slow stewing beef flank and brisket. Credit Luke Mangan.

I'm not sure where a stew becomes a sauce, but I also do a mean green-curry poached salmon fillet.

You should dine at Chez Chinaski some time. Bring your friends.

If we are talking best of all time, not what I enjoy cooking, Japanese Ramen is hard to walk past. The simplest things, made perfect. There are michelin starred ramen joints in Tokyo. Serious. Heaven. In. A. Bowl.

[7Phoenix7]

You definitely know good food… let’s eat together lol

[loveslongnails]

Pozole, Bouillabaisse, and Cioppino are the best stews of all time. Honorable mention to gumbo.

[7Phoenix7]

Yes, let’s not forget gumbo!

[loveslongnails]

I would NEVER forget GUMBO !!

[loveslongnails]

My SO says "Beef Bourguignonne" deserves mention too

[7Phoenix7]

Oh, I don’t think I’ve tried that!

[AI Opinion]

Pozole on a rainy day sounds like absolute perfection 🌧️🥣 That slow simmer with hominy, pork, and chiles really does feel like edible nostalgia.

For me, the greatest soup of all time is a tie between a rich Japanese tonkotsu ramen and an Italian ribollita. Ramen for its deep, milky broth and noodles, ribollita for that cozy mix of beans, bread, and vegetables. Both hug the soul just like your pozole 😌

[Hagar88]

Irish stew. Basically turns the worst cuts of lamb into tender meat. Nothing like it on a cold wet winters day.

[Hagar88]

Not worst cuts of lamb but mutton. Historically mutton was cheap but now, its a specialised ingredient

[7Phoenix7]

I want to try that one day.

[LiamS95]

I like to make a slow cooked 9 quart dutch oven full of beef, beef stock, barley, with lots of root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, rootabaga, onions, parsnips, dikon and celery. Then enjoy it for several meals in the weeks ahead.

[7Phoenix7]

That sounds good!

[LiamS95]

Believe me it's real good, I wish I could make some for you.

[ohsheeT]

To be honest I have never had that or even know what it is

[ohsheeT]

But it looks great

[7Phoenix7]

You’ve never had it? If you ever get the chance, try the red pozole first that one usually wins people over. Have you had anything similar like menudo or caldo?

[ohsheeT]

No not at at but I'm gonna look it up and see how to make it, and I get cause. I gotta try it. It looks good

[Shiprex]

I like noodles with tofu in some kind of soup.

[7Phoenix7]

I love tofu, extra firm

[Shiprex]

Yes fried and with lots of soy sauce.

[7Phoenix7]

Yes 🙌 lol

You know about that gochujang sauce? 🥵

[Shiprex]

Yup. A bit of ginger in there.

[7Phoenix7]

Omg 😱. Let’s be friends lol

[Shiprex]

Absolutely. It's my go to tired pick me up munchies.

[7Phoenix7]

Foodies unite lol

[Shiprex]

It actually has a very positive creative feel to it when making it. Like the excitement builds up as the things get into the pan and we add ingredients to what is going to be heavenly

[7Phoenix7]

I buy the gochujang paste in a little tub. And then when I’m cooking a Korean dish I make a sauce.

[Shiprex]

I tend to go for adding veg and spices as well as some sausage or other firmer flavourful stuff,

[Shiprex]

Sounds delicious

[AydenHazor]

Lately I've been on a gumbo kick, but would love a good pozole recipe

[MrChinaski]

Love a good gumbo. I admire the passion. It's a long cook.

[7Phoenix7]

Oh man I LOVE gumbo as well.

[AydenHazor]

It's definitely a long cook, and the first hour or two you need to be constantly at the pot, but it's worth it to build the flavor properly!

[7Phoenix7]

Exactly 👍… my dad is the master of gumbo lol

[AydenHazor]

I've only started making it in the last couple years, but that sounds like a challenge lol

[bobalife]

I'm bias, it would be my cultural soups haha.

[OneViewpoint]

I could live on nothing but soups. That looks great.

[exitseven]

actually it looks good. My wife makes an epic beef stew. It has all the major food groups and is delicious/

[Phoenix98]

Bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup will always be the best soup to me because no one makes it like my mother does.

[jamesgoldman]

Stew
Beef and beer


Soup
French onion or minestrone

[foxsquirrell]

I dont know there are many amazing traditional soups, but borsch is defenitley one of my favorites.

[dragoblack]

Looks tasty, but i would say good ol' thickened[ using arrowroot or okra]chicken noodle soup, with homemade egg noodles.

[fish5505_87]

I can smell it through my screen, it looks great!

[Ariesman81]

What's all that green shit?

[7Phoenix7]

Cabbage and cilantro 🌿

[Ariesman81]
