Soup at this house is...
started with a very rich and concentrated stock made from lots of bones and scraps, simmered for hours (if not days), and then I add what I have on hand. Nothing like a bowl of homemade vegetable soup done right.
If you're looking for a cream-style soup, you can make an out of this world cream of chicken by simmering a whole chicken until tender in a gallon of water. Remove the bird and pick the meat off. Return the carcass to the pot with onions, celery, carrots, parsley, and celeriac. Simmer covered on low heat for several hours. Strain the stock, add the cooked chicken, a splash of sherry, season to taste (I love tarragon in this), bring back to a simmer, remove from heat, add a cup of cream, and puree with a stick blender. Pure concentrated creamy chicken bliss. I garnish with snipped chives, fresh or dried.

soups
I rarely use a recipe to make soup. Maybe just too lazy. LOL! However,I often make my own wedding soup, sans meatballs, with home made chicken stock, carrots, endive or spinach or escarole, celery, and chicken, and whatever else I feel like throwing in. I found a gluten free pasta that I actually like called Banza. It's made from chickpeas. I ordered from Amazon because I live in a rural area and no huge grocery stores. I don't use croutons . Hope this is helpful. Good luck.

Potato Leek Soup as a base
PLS is nothing but chopped potatoes and leeks, covered with water and simmered with a little salt until tender. It can be purreed, and anything else can be added to it to be purreed along with it. I usually use watercress or sorrel. Any green would work. In its basic form it is both vegan and gluten free, but it can be made with stock as part of the liquid.
