I usually do not make homemade soups but my wife makes the Irish version of chicken noodle soup.
A major food store I stop in when I am working has great soups on their salad bar, my favorite are New England clam chowder, Italian wedding soup and beef barley.
If I am home it is usually canned soup, mostly tomato made with milk and you have to drink it from a mug.

Ribbles....
1 cup flour
1/4 cup butter
3 tbsp water
1 tea spoon salt
Mix up until a dough like consistency role in grape size balls and drop them in your boiling soup, they expand a little and float to the top...Taste something like a role, but better......

Slick Shot , that`s how my mom makes her ribbles.
I believe it is the same thing, but we always called them "rivels", not "ribbles"
Yinz in the eastern part of the state may call them rivels and you are right, but in Pittsburgh slang we called them ribbles nat on this side...lol

I can't wait to start digging leeks. We always call them ramps, but I dont care what you call them, they are great.
Do you happen to have a recipe for potato leek soup, you would like to share Zeke?

Jack51, you`re right . got confused in my old age.
Wild Leek and Potato Soup
(Ingredients)
½ stick of butter
Approximately 20 wild leeks, bulbs and greens, roughly chopped
¼ large onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed or 1 ½ tablespoons of minced garlic
6-8 baby carrots finely chopped
1-2 stalks of celery finely chopped
8 cups chicken broth (I used the powdered bullion at 1 tsp per cup water)
8 white potatoes, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (whatever you consider bite size)
2-3 tablespoons of real bacon bits.
Salt and pepper to taste.
1 cup heavy cream
(Directions)
- In a large pot melt the butter.
- Add the chopped leeks, onion, garlic, carrots, and celery.
- Sautee’ until the leeks and other ingredients have begun to soften and wilt.
- Add some salt and pepper.
- At this point add the 8 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add your potato chunks.
- Boil until the potatoes are cooked.
- Add bacon bits, and then use a hand blender to blend the leeks, onions, celery, bacon bits, potatoes etc. (You can blend soup as smooth or as chunky as you prefer)
- Add some more salt and pepper, if needed, to suite your taste.
- Add the heavy cream and stir all ingredients together.
- Serve while hot.

I prefer chili's and chowders but we do make a chicken/barley soup and a couple times a year we'll do cream of crab.

Not sure if they still have it but in Potter some of the Local Sportsman's clubs would have a Ham & Leek dinner every year.
