I am not the biggest fan of soup either. I have to be in a serious mood to have it, but when I want it...
I like New England Clam Chowder, salty too.
-This is usually more difficult that it seems. I haven't eaten red meat for a while now, at least seven years. When I do so my stomach gets irritated, it does the same thing with pork (even though people don't consider that a red meat). Most of the time Clam Chowders depend on the saltiness of pork (usually bacon). So to get a nice salty bowl of clam chowder that doesn't have a pork product in it is difficult (but worth it).
I also like Matza Ball soup
-There is something about it. Matza balls remind me of the time when I was little and I used to get a few slices of bread, and roll them up into balls and eat them that way. It was always my favorite part when I was invited for passover dinner at my Aunts... that and the egg dipped in salt water... oh, and the grape juice.
I do have a great recipe that calls for cream of mushroom soup.
1 lbs of ground meat (I go with turkey)
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of water (using the mushroom soup can)
1 can of instant rice (using the soup can)
-brown the meat first, and then add all the ingredients over medium heat, let simmer until the rice is soft and enjoy.
It's not soup, but it's using soup at least.
