I have several different soups that are of a more fiesta type texture, like chicken tortilla, taco soup, green chile, etc. - and on those I LOVE shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Sometimes I will cut tortillas into thin strips and saute them in some olive oil, for some homemade tortilla strips! YUM!

 I love to put goldfish crackers in my soup.  It's really a fun way to add some color, and with the little baby ones fit perfectly on spoons for the kids.

Nothing beats a piping bowl of chili with cheese, sour cream, and corn chips!   Does anyone have a good recipe for a creamy Chicken Tortilla soup? That is always very warming on a cold night!

I know it is so old fashioned, but in the winter months I love to cozy up to a good old bowl of Cambell's Tomato Soup with Ritz crackers crumbled up inside it. Nothing is more comforting to me in the world. On days I am not in the mood for tomato soup I eat a big bowl of Spaghetti O's.

I often mix soups - chicken noodle or chicken rice mixed with cream of chicken or a corn chowder, minestrone mixed with vegetable beef or beef barley.  Any soups that have the same base - chicken or beef - will usually go great together.  Then add favorite topping such as parmesian cheese or oyster crackers or a dollop of sour cream.  I did that one time many years ago when I didn't have enough cans of the same soup for the whole family.  It was such a success I often buy soups with that idea in mind now.  You can even mix minestrone with chili!!

I like soups lite, low fat and full of vegetables. Lemon juice always comes on the side.

I tried your clam chowder.  It was wonderful!  Will definately buy it agian.

I'm weird with so many good soups I just eat them as is.  However, I will use the thicker canned soups add more meat or vegetables and serve over noodles or rice

I used to LOVE to mix Progresso Escarole soup with Progresso Chickarina to make an italian escarole soup. Can not find Escarole soup for a year + now.  Did Progresso stop making it?       Tomato soup with rice added, or tomato soup with grilled cheese.  Yum~~

Ditto using escarole soup as a base for all sorts of quick meals; also cannot find; assume dropped; but how come we can't raise the question on this website?

Clam Chowder is my favorite soup in a can.  I only add about half the water (if water is called for), add a little garlic salt and pour it over pasta. 

I enjoy Chicken Noodle Soup with a grilled cheese  on the side.

My husband and I have soup, frequently. We like it with loads of extra vegetables like canned carrots or green beans and we like to use up any leftover chicken or turkey in what we call "soup sauce."  With Progresso Light soups, we don't even have to worry about any added fat to our meal. We like to have soup with a piece of whole grain bread and butter.

We have some great old bakelite bowls that seem to hold the heat in the soup better than anything else and my husband always has it with a big spoon, but I like to have mine with a small spoon to make it last longer.

 instead of water-----add home made chicken stock  --- when I make a chicken stock from the bones of   grilled chicken   the  smokiness in the broth adds a depth of flavor which is awesome  = then you could use this with a can of tomato soup --I sometimes add frozen corn   any favorite vegetable would be good  rice  yellow  rice spicy yellow rice    even some grilled chicken bits

I make a nine ingredient soup -- use brown ground turkey meat, vegetable soup, chili (can) without beans, vegall, corn, diced tomatoes, potatoes, peas & carrots, green beans, tomato soup.  You can vary the size of these ingredients so that you can make a small pot or a large pot but it is quick, easy and tasty.  I also make some mean homemade jalapeno cornbread and my family can hardly wait to dig in!
