Today, my wife and I are going to a "soup swap". A bunch of folks get together. Each brings several (in our case, 6) quart-containers of homemade soup. There's a little song and dance of presenting and "selling" your soup, and then there's a round-robin of picking soups - you leave with as many containers as you brought.
We made a corn chowder, the ingredient list for which is deceptively simple. Corn, chicken broth, onions, cream, bacon, scallions, salt and pepper. The secret is in the method - some of the corn is canned, and that's made into a puree to thicken the soup. The rest of the corn is cut from cobs, and you include the cobs in the simmering step, to leech out all the corny goodness.
I have no idea what soups we'll get to leave with.
