In reply to the discussion: The 25 Best Soups, In Order [View all]yuiyoshida
(44,921 posts)A lot of people, surprisingly have mentioned their very own recipes for soups which of course would not be included in the above list. Some have mentioned they just get their soups from a can, which is fine (though full of sodium!) Most of these soups mentioned at the top are the types of soup you would expect to find at a local restaurant in your area. I think the list is rather limited because it doesn't take in the full scope of soups that are really international. Some are mentioned, those which are popular in European countries, or even in parts of Asia but it leaves out places like Mexico, or South America, or even the fine state of Hawaii that has its own flavors of soup. Soups from Asia have some amazing ingredients coming from fruits and vegetables that don't even grow here in the US or are not allowed to come into our ports.
I often to go to Chinatown looking for somethings, and can never find them as they are not allowed to be brought into the country...this includes some spices, from places like Thailand and Hong Kong. But...so it is.. We are stuck with what we are stuck with, and you need to find places that do seem to find away around customs for getting their spices delivered to them.
