There is soup, and then there is soup. For a clear understanding of what we like and refer to as soup, you've got to read the column, really it is an education.
Personally, I am not really a big soup lover but I do indulge at times such as this past week when I made some cow-heel soup along with dumplings, carrots and okra. Email me for a complete recipe.
For more soup recipes, see what some of my friends have made:
Marie's Soothing Soup
Sunita's Soup, Glorious Soup
Susan's Soup is good food
Pat's Lentil Soup with Italian Sausage & Escarole
Pixen's Sweet Pumpkin & Lily Bulb Soup
Now, in case you have not discovered his blog yet... and you like baking... and you like breads of all sorts, then you have to visit my friend, Chuck's blog, The Knead for Bread. Each post teases, seduces and entices me to go into the kitchen and bake. Remember the breakfast bread? It was his recipe.
Recently I saw his post on Apple Tart-Bread and knew I had to try it because I like baked apple stuff. What can I tell you? Read the comments section of his Apple Tart-Bread post and you'll find all the answers you need including the recipe.
I recently bought some tartlet pans and wanted to try them out that is why I did not make mine as a large tart. The remaining mixture I added to a loaf pan and baked an extra 15 minutes.
Finally, this week at Forgive Me My Nonsense... A true sign of hospitality

Great column!! Although I DO believe that soup is "real food," I don't really eat much of it either - love YOUR soup though!! :0)
And wow, that dessert looks FABULOUS!! Thanks for linking to "The Knead for Bread" blog - another great blog out there, for sure!!
Cynthia, Cynthia, Cynthia you are so sweet. I hate to say it but I'm jealous. I love the individual tarts, they turned out beautiful. I'm on the hunt for small tart pans!
I'm kicking myself for not thinking of making a loaf out of it. AHHHHH! Stunning! I think yours look better than mine. lol
Thank you Cynthia!
My boyfriend used to think that soup isn't real food ;-P... Thankfully, I've been able to change his mind!
Your soup and desserts look mighty scrumptious!
Cheers,
Rosa
I love soups and stews so much. They are definitely my favorite things to make. So many different combinations. I am lucky enough to be married to a man who is OK with soup being considered "real food" which is good :)
We must have soup at least twice a week, if not more often, because we get a veggie box and can't figure out what to do with all of the veggies otherwise! Besides - "soup is good food" and all of that. ;)
I'm not hot on soups too Cynthia, but a good hearty soup is meal enough, throw in some nice crusty bread in & you're in business! Now I'm very envious of those beautiful tart pans you've bought. They've been on my list fo LONG...love the apple bread & yours are very pretty & very perfect! WOW!!
Great column, Cynthia! I happen to be in the soup lovers camp. That said, I need to have my soup thick and chunky! No smooth bisque or consomme for me! And of course, you must have a big piece of nice, crusty bread to go along with your soup!
I'm really loving the apple tarts! They look wonderful!
Thanks for the link love too!
Anything about baking apple this time of the year, it just sounds wonderful. I can smell your tart from here:)
Ooooh, Cyn. That bread. Mmm.
I have some apple butter in the fridge that I was thinking I was going to include somewhere... I'm thinking of a TART now.
mmmm!
Nice column post Cynthia. I feel soup is soul food when they have veggie and meat :) But my husb is like Ivan!
The indivudual tart is gorgeous :)
Your writing is pretty inspiring and I guess I must be a soup person, because after I had read only TWO SENTENCES of your article, I jumped up and made some lentil soup. It's bubbling away on the stove at this moment.
What gorgeous apple tarts.
Cynthia, that soup looks hearty and delicious. I am not a soup person either but hand me that bowl anyday and I might become a convert.
I'm picky when it comes to soups. I love soup but only during certain times of the year and when I go home for a visit. When it's cold where I am, I'm more prone to making my own version of chicken soup w/ west indian-type dumplings. When I go home, my favorite type of soup to eat is red peas soup. :-)
*sigh* The Knead for Bread... Cynthia why did you have to post a link to Chuck's bread blog? *sigh* Now I have to visit his blog on a weekly basis and drool at the mouth. lol!! I LOVE BREAD!!!
Oh and by the way, the apple tart looks delicious!
We love soup & often serve it as a main meal, especially on those cool nights. That is so comforting.
I'm not a big soup person. But when i do indulge it has to be like your kind. Thick, rich, not some watery stuff. Cowheel? Sounds interesrting. Is it glutenious likes pigs foot? My fathers peopel ( in Nigeris) always refer to what I think of as stew, as soup.
You know I now have to 'google' cowheel :) I love hearty soups in Fall and Winter, with crusty bread I am in heaven.
That tart I am definitely checking out, it looks magnificient!
Cynthia, I was laughing when Ivan said " It was good but it's not food"! Since I just posted 3 soups, I guess you know how I feel. When its cold out I really love a hot bowl of soup to warm me up! I can eat it as a meal as long as I can have another bowlful and some crusty bread with it!
I need to know more about the cow heel. Is that literal? Now those tarts of yours look wonderful. I love the first picture with the black background and all that frosting!! Soooo good! Thank you sweetie for the link love! ;)
xox, Marie
i am trying to lose some weight and been on soup-lunches for a while now. that looks delicious, though I don't eat beef :)
Soup is not my favorite either, but the weather's getting to the point where I'm just starting to crave it! The tarts are beautiful!! :)
I love soup... of all sorts... the watery thingy and the thick kinds too. The smooth/creamy ones and the chunky versions. With all sorts of accompaniments, rice, dumplings, noodles/pasta. It's food and it's real ;-)
Cynthia, the cow heel soup looks yummy and the dessert is calling my name.
Cheers to soup!
My husband is the same way, but my daughter and I could live off soup. Must be a "guy" thing. I must say, the name "cow heel" soup sounds strange to me and isn't something I would normally find appetizing, but your photo makes it look delicious.
Hi..you have a great informative food blog. Great soups ! Just added and "faved" you. Hope you can add Our Food Recipes. Thank you
I LOVE soup! Now okra is another story :) I just can't get used to the texture.
Those apple tarts look gorgeous. Cynthia. I like baked apple stuff too.
Soup? Now that's another matter. I really do not like it. But my husband and daughter love it.
In my country, we have strong soup traditions ... yellow pea soup with pork, salmon soup, spinach soup, beef soup with dumplings, nettle soup...
Oh yes indeed soup is real food. Now plain old broth I don't think so. But this is real food.
And your tarts are just too pretty to eat. Little cutie-pa-tooties!
I would give ANYTHING for some of your soup RIGHT NOW!! Your photos, recipes and food are so enticing, Cynthia.
cynthia, i just love you and your blog! :D
i am learning so much about food here. i hope i can borrow some recipes, too. hehe!
the soup looks nice. it kind of reminds me of a favorite veggie soup we make at home. this 1 looks nicer, though.
If you look up comfort in the dictionary, there's a photo of soup...yep!
hehe, soup, and then there's soup...hahahaha. Great post!
Soups looks so nice and tarts also looking cool!
I love soups, i make both thick and thin soup. Depend on the occasion.
If i am having just soup as a full meal then i like to have a thivk soup like peas etc.... but then if it is just a small bowl before lunch then i like thin light soups.
Love that apple tartlete. I have the same baking shape so i will check out the recipe .
I'm a SOUP woman!!!! Not during summer time, but when cold is here, there's nothing better than a hot soup... fish, meat, pasta, veggies... anything goes in there ;D
Cynthia I bought little tart pans in different shapes and haven't used them yet! I actually forgot I had them. :) Your apple tarts look beautiful!
I eat tons of soup, and this one looks like a winner!
Now Tavo is not quite the soup devotee that I am, but I keep trying :)
I love soup, specially hot soup in winter season.
Your soup looks healthy and yummy.
But desserts...wow...wonderful!!!
The tartlet looks yummy :) Its turned out perfect:)
I love soup butternut squash soup is our family favourite. :-)
Love the pictures Cynthia and I dare not say anything about the apple pictures or the drool will spill out....they look GOOD!!!
Soup is the quintessential food of the common people. It is one of the few cooking methods that is universal (or nearly so).
Thank you for your visit, your blog is very beautiful. I like this soup.
Bye,
Stefano
Poor Ivan...soup is one of my favorite meals, but then again, it's awfully cold here now. Maybe he should try some chilled fruit dessert soups?
Those tarts are lovely. Brilliantly beautiful.
I will be in Barbados in less then 2 weeks. I can't wait to soak up the sun, have some Guava Cheese,. and go dancing at Oistens!
I heard there are some great veggie restaurants in Bridgetown, though we didn't find them last time.
Of course soup can unite!!! And that bread - looks great!

Ok now, may I please send my DH for dinner and lunch. I get my pleasure from watching him enjoy a hearty, tasty meal and cow heel soup is definitely one of them. It is also one that I enjoy very much especially in the cold months so I will definitely be making some of yours Cynthia. I always have to remind myself never to look at your page when I am hungry. Btw, I am surprised that Bajans love theirs with some rice as well.
I'm a soup lover! That apple loaf looks divine too...
I just bought some individual pans yesterday....can't wait! As fir this recipe...Looks delicious.
Hi me again! To answer your question: it's 3 teaspoons, I wrote down 3 tablespoons and it was wrong. So glad you caught that!! Thank you!!!
I just want to glug, glug, glug that soup ... so delicious! and then the dessert ... fantastic post, Cynthia!
Soup makes for great meals though I don not make soups often enough.
darling Cynthia,
I'm fine and you?

Cynthia,
apple tarts looks absolutely WOW! and my hubby thinks the same soup isn't a real food cant change much on that LOL .. this soup looks very appetizing and yum to me, will try out someday.
hugs and smiles
I only make soup when it's really cold and it usually our main meal. Your apple tarts look perfect.
I LOVE soup and know that it is a real food, especially the thick, comforting soups that I especially like...navy bean, split pea, ministrone, clam chowder...etc.
That apple bread tart sounds and looks amazing! Perfect for the season, too.
Soup is real food for me if I have something with it-some biscuits, crusty bread or a grilled cheese. Those apple tartlets are gorgeous!
Ahhhh, my father is one of those that thinks soup is not real food... But my mother made it often, I was raised on it once or twice a week... It's one of the best comfort foods! Fresh baked bread and homemade soup... Nothing better!!!
