I am entering a soup cook-off this Saturday and I just can't make up my mind what soup to make. So far I have come up with California medley, Stuffed pepper soup, Clam chowder, Pasta Fagioli. Iwant to make something a little different from everybody else. Anybody have any ideas I can use? It has to be a soup that will hold well in a crockpot.

How about potato leek or ham and bean soup. My favorite is split pea soup.

Those all sound good. I haven't made split pea in a long time. Boy I'm sure getting hungry for soup about now.

A few suggestions for you to think about: How about trying something really different, like a butternut Squash and Lentil Soup? I make this in my crockpot all the time, and it is really good! You cut up a butternut squash, add a few onions, celery and dried lentils, and use a lot of chicken stock, and for sesoning, try the spice called Advia. It has a cinnimon flavor. After I make this, I usually put it through the food processor, and it becomes a creamy and delightful soup!

That really sounds delicious and fairly simple. I'll have to try making it and let you know how it turns out. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

Thank you for the encouragement. Stuffed pepper soup is made with leftover stuffed peppers and tomato sauce. You chop up the stuffed peppers and thin out the sauce. It is really easy and delicious.
