Anyone really like soups?
Im not talking about those canned crap, talking about real soup.

Anyhow I like red peas and in general lentil soups as well as chicken soup and corn soup.

Sometimes I have soups for both lunch and dinner.

What kinds of soups do you like?

LOL u are creative. I use potatoes a lot in my soups. Watermelon lol.
Watercress I hate.
Generally in lentil soups coconut milk, pepper, escallalion, pimento, potatoes and small amounts of beef get added. In corn I use potatoes, radishes, pepper and pimento in addition to corn on the cobs. Chicken everything that I put in the corn soups including corns and of course chuncks of chicken.
Everyone else in my family prefers using chicken feet instead of chunks but I hate chicken feet and cow's feet. However, I love goat head soup also called manish soup/water.

Sad as it sounds, I had never heard of bitter melon (til now) so I assumed that you were talking about bitter watermelon. My bad.

ROFL, as you live you learn. I have the bitter melon vine at home. We call it Cerasse, I had no idea it is also called biter melon. I hate the thing but many people use the leaves of the vine to make tea. I dont know of anyone who eats the melon thing that grows on the vine. Also I didnt know that the pods could grow as huge as the picture in the wikipedia article. I have never drinken cerasse but hear it has some medicinal properties. I also heard it must not be drinken regularly as it is unhealthy to do so...Lol
Well ive learnt something new.
I would never ever put cerasse in any soup of mine. I would rather try watermelon. :-)

I'm in love with creamy mushroom soup, broccoli cheese, or other variations thereof. Oh, and I could eat spicy sausage lentil soup until my stomach explodes.

I'm a big soup eater, my favorite kinds are different variations of potato chowder (bacon cheddar being my very fave!). I like pretty much all chowders except corn, I'm a big fan of creamy soups. I also really love Tortilla soup, I became addicted to the stuff after first having it in when in Mexico a few years ago. Since then I've discovered that authentic (good) tortilla soup is not always easy to find. The only soups I don't like are chicken broth based soups. Not sure why but I've never liked chicken noodle or chicken and rice or turkey vegetable or anything like that. :shrug:

I worked one summer at a local beach-side seafood restaurant in Rhode Island. It was there that I learned there are actually 3 kinds of Chowder: Traditional, New England, and Manhattan. New England is the only one I like :P
