Best Soup Ever?

We all have a favorite food. There's that one thing that you can go to when you're feeling down or just needing to satisfy that one spot of your belly that just doesn't seem to not be hungry. For myself, I'm a soup guy. I firmly believe that soup is not a meal, if anything an appetizer, but for me it's pure delight. I've had allot of soup in my time and over the years I've had to say farewell to some soups for my stomach and their content could not agree with each other.

I've had many soups over the years and it's hard to peg which one is my favorite. Chicken noodle is the bedrock of all soups and nothing compares to a hearty chicken noodle. In fact Aubrey makes yummy chicken noodle. Then there's Wonton soup, which in my belief is imperative whenever one eats chinese food. Sure you can go with the Egg drop (yuck!) but a large Wonton soup is the chaser for the main dish. There's also the chowder dishes. Especially Aubrey's Clam Chowder (which has gone under the moniker of Big Fat Loser Clam Chowder after the Patriots lost in the Super Bowl to the Giants) which is the best Clam Chowder I have ever tasted. Sadly my stomach can no longer visit Manhattan but if memory serves me right that was a pretty darn good soup.

The best? There is one soup that every time I eat I wait in expectation like a child on christmas day for it to be brought to me. Not a drop is left in the bowl, the spoon licked dry. That soup is Cream of Turkey. I have not seen this soup anywhere else in my travels, then again I don't like to travel far from the soup. If I were to ever move from central NJ I feel as if I would have to visit monthly just for the soup. The Cream of Turkey is golden and may very well have been the mysterious Manna in the book of Exodus. (Ok, maybe not.)

Many attempts have tried to replicate the soup but all have fallen short, the deliciousness alluding the cook. If there were ever a food I would have genetically broken down it would be this one. What savory flavors are added to make a soup so tasteful? What mystery's of culinary expertise have been tapped into to create such a soup?

The cream of turkey is so good the most I've ever had in one sitting is 8 bowls. And that wasn't even my meal, cause soups not a meal! If I were to ever be stuck on an island with one food choice it may very well be the cream of turkey soup. If you are ever in the central jersey area I can show you where to get this soup but beware your life may never be the same after having it.
