Soup Two Nights In A Row?

It was my wife's idea. I would never have thought to make soup two nights in a row. But she wanted soup, so soup I provide.
Last night I made a beef vegetable soup with chopped chuck roast, onions, carrots, Brussels sprouts, potatoes and celery. I ate two bowls and she ate three. We fed one bowl to Mom this afternoon for lunch, wifey had another bowl for lunch, and she made a bowl for me for lunch tomorrow.
Tonight I am making a kielbasa vegetable soup of sorts.
I browned up some kielbasa. Then added in the onion, celery, carrots and potato. Next up a can of diced tomatoes. I put in a can of pinto beans. Then 4 cups of chicken broth, then a can of tomato soup and made that into another 4 cups of liquid.
I added the liquid into the soup and added 3 beef bullion cubes, 3 tablespoons of minced garlic, oregano, and Italian seasoning. Then I added in 2 cups of mixed veggies and I will let that cook for about an hour or just a little over.
We will crush some crackers into it when we serve it and I may serve it with slices of buttered bread.
I think this will be good. What do you think?

What's the longest you eat the same soup? When I make cabbage soup or chicken bouillon soup we usually eat it for 4-5 days lol.

@porwest I don't know how to make little soup lol. I use a huge pot and it always comes out to be too much of it.

@lovebuglena I am not sure I make little pots of it. I use at least 8 cups of liquid in most of them. And then of course, all the goodies inside. I think we might just be pigs. lol

I think we all want hot soup when the weather is so cold. We cooked a catfish stew yesterday and will have leftovers today.

@porwest Dale fries the best catfish. The stew is easy: boil eggs, cut catfish fillets in small pieces. Add water to a med to large pot, add cut up potatoes, onions, salt, pepper, bacon grease and simmer until the potatoes are almost tender. Add fish, simmer gently until cooked, then add cut up boiled eggs. Simmer about 10 more minutes. Then I thicken up the broth a little with a flour roux.
Let me know if you try it.

@JudyEv Usually I rely on the daily "what I ate" posts that @LindaOHio does. It's like an archive of sorts.

You can put so much variety into soup, as well as use things up. Fill up, and warm up and have plenty to eat at a reasonable cost.

Sounds humble to me and humble the best way to live. Plus soup is healthy even though we all hate it two nights in a row.

Soup 2 nights in a row. Now that was a "soup-rise.” 
I think your concoction will be a very good meal. You really went "soup to nuts" with all those interesting ingredients.

Both soups sound delicious, especially with the bread on the side. I love soup and could eat it every day. Even in summer. I made a really good minestrone soup earlier in the week and froze some of it in individual containers. I also made turkey chili anoither day this week and froze the leftovers. I think I may have some of that for dinner. Thanks for the idea.
