a very unique and great soup is chicken wing soup...
saute up your onions celery and carrots in butter, add flour and cook for several mins. Leave the carrots and celery a little bit bigger. Add your chicken stock or broth...cook until the veggies are soft, add in chicken(can use whatever is leftover, boneless) add some hot sauce and crumbled up blue cheese(not dressing) whatever is your favorite kind. Everything thats yummy about wings without the mess.
Soup, for me, is usually left-overs boiled in water or stock. the best I've made (sorry no amounts):
Roast beef from the night before (with gravy), dill coated fried potatos, some sauted onions and oven burnt tomatos (so sue me, these weren't left overs), orzo, and salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Also had some cornstarch water to thicken, because I like that.
I pretty much boiled the gravy, orzo and tomatoes in some beef stock, until the orzo is a little soft. Threw in salt/pepper and garlic powder to taste, get a hard boil, then tossed in everything that had been precooked and lower temp. simmer for a while add paprika, waited until I thought it was done, and then through in the cornstarch... It was pretty good
It's sort of stew, but what ever.

Sicilian Bean Soup
INGREDIENTS: (About 4 Servings)
1 cup of navy or kidney beans
1/2 quarts of water
Approx. 2 quarts stock
2 cups of ham dices small (1/4'; square)
1/2 cup of finely chopped white onions
1/2 cup of chopped celery
1 teaspoon of salt
Pepper to taste
While there are a hundred Sicilian bean recipes, this is just one of them. I usually like to add sliced carrots to it, too.
Get a stockpot or 4-quart kettle and add in beans and the water and bring it to a boil. Let it continue to boil for 2-3 minutes and remove it from the burner. Let the beans soak for an hour or so, and then drain them. Be sure to save the water and set aside. Add more stock (about 2 quarts) and add in all the other ingredients. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to let it simmer for about 1-陆 hours.
