Do you add a lot of spices to your homemade soup

Yes, most times with good results. However, there have been times when it's had a different taste, thats for sure.

Absolutely. I put lots of herbs and spices in everything.

yup. I start most with some salt and whole black pepper corns. I fry up onions, a bit of garlic and a chopped stalk of celery or two for most soups as a flavour base.

Then

for tomatoe based soups I like a lot of basil and oregano.

For clear chicken soups or leftover turkey I throw in some sage, savoury and poultry seasoning.

I don't do ham or pork much in soup

but for beef and barley type soups I like to add a bay leaf or two.
